Running Vista Ultimate and have new updates to install SP1 here. I already
d/loaded SP1 / SP 2 manually so am asking this; which is better to do; let
the update automatically install or do it like above?
Don't want to mess anything up with the installation of SP1 / SP2.
Thanks for your help
God Bless... :-)
