Windows Vista Service Pack 2

taylo4592 · May 17, 2013

I am having a problem downloading service pk 2 my computer has asked for it several times but the update always fails. I have been trying to download IE 9 for the longest and my computer says it can't download because there is no windows vista service pk 2. And my IE is acting up because it is out of date and I can't go on some sites because it's not updated. I have been trying to download these for months and I went on garden web and tried all the trouble shooting that they gave me and none of it worked. one of the people from there gave me your link to try and get help. I have also tried to download a trial of windows 7 (because I can't afford a copy right now) and my computer won't download it either. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated because I cannot afford to buy a new computer at this time thanks.

Hi taylo4592 and welcome.

Have you scanned for malware?

You might try to Reset Windows Update and see if that helps.
