Download Microsoft Windows Vista SP2
May 26th, 2009Now Windows Vista users can download Microsoft Windows Vista SP2, the latest and probably the last official service pack to this Windows edition.
Earlier Microsoft had released Windows Vista SP2 Beta as part of a Customer Preview Program (CPP) launched on TechNet and was intended for technology enthusiasts, developers, and IT Pros. The Beta version was a prerelease and provided for testing only. As of April 28th, 2009 the Windows Vista SP software2 Beta program concluded.
Now the Vista service packs 2 are available for download by the public. Windows Vista SP2 is an update to Windows Vista and that supports new kinds of hardware and emerging hardware standards, and includes all updates delivered since SP1. Service Pack 1 is a prerequisite for installing Service Pack 2. Please make sure that your system is running Service Pack 1 before you install Service Pack 2. Download Windows Vista SP1 if you want to try SP2.
Download Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2)- Five Language Standalone (348 MB). Get it here for x64-based systems (577 MB). Here is a support article should you need to troubleshoot SP2.
BTW Windows users can also download Windows 7 RC, the release candidate of the latest version of Windows 7 (free for 1 year). They can try the Windows 7 upgrader to see if your computer is powerful enough to run the new Windows software.

If your computer uses a language other than English, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish, then this update is the wrong one for you. Look for the Vista Service Pack 2 Full Update, which will have all the other languages.

I have downloaded Vista SP2 yesterday. From then no sound is coming.
I tried to download Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista. A few seconds into it, the screen changed to blue and white small checkers(color scheme might have been due to the web site I had open in the background at the time). The computer was not responsive, not even when I pressed control+alt+delete. I had to shut it down by pressing the power button. Since then, I can not turn the computer back on. I tried over the course of several days. The screen remains black, and the computer whirrs on and the blue lights on the keyboard turn on for about 30 seconds; then it shuts down and the cycle repeats. Is this a software or hardware problem?
Seems like your chipset/vga drivers don’t like SP2. Try updating laptop drivers first, and then apply SP2.
