Hi,
I bought my PC 9 months ago. At that time, I had the
Automatic update set to download updates, but ask me if I
wanted to install them. Every now and then, it would tell
me that an update was available and would I like to
install it. I've always installed every update that it
downloaded. That is what happened recently with SP2. I
installed SP2 and it appeared in my "Add/Remove Programs"
list from the Control Program.
Now recently, because I had a CW trojan infection, I'm
told that these infections are prevented if you install
SP1a. I do not see in the "Add/Remove Programs" list
where any Service Packs (besides SP2) have been installed
on my PC. I'm frustrated why Automatic Update didn't get
this for me. But now I'm faced with:
1) could SP1a be installed on my PC but not appear in
my "Add/Remove Programs" list?
2) is it OK to install SP1a after I've already installed
SP2
3) Are there other Service Packs, SP1 or SP1b perhaps,
that have not been installed on my PC, and
4) what happens if I Remove SP2, so that I can install
previous Service Packs (and then reinstall SP2)? Does SP2
uninstall cleanly?
Thanks,
Rich
