keep getting SP2 update in my Windows Updates, I uncheck the box, DONT want to use it.
How do I keep it from coming back into the updates constantly?

Re: SP2 update

You would be wise to download & install SP2.
What are your reasons for avoiding it?

Re: SP2 update

why do I want to use it? will it stop my vista program from freezing up, will it make my computer run faster, what way is it better from sp1? Just curious - I get different opinions on updates - some say DONT, it can screw up a computer thats working just fine, others say DO IT because it will be better and make the computer operate/safer than the other. I've known people that never update their computers - just their security and never have a problem with the computer; then I know people like me that do all updates and there's always a problem showing up. So what to believe?

Thanks for your opinion

Personal anecdotal evidence is hard to ignore - but ignore it we must.
Opinions always vary & yes it's you who has to ultimately make up your own mind.
Microsoft respond to problems that present to a huge number of users, & their solutions / SP's are created for the greater good.
My advice is to install SP2. I did.

Re: SP2 update

And just exactly how did you get SP2 to install? I've tried about 15 times and with every possible combination. It just keeps failing!!!!!!
