Service pack: A service pack is a Windows update that combines new security and performance updates with previously released updates. Installing a service pack helps make sure you've got all the updates your PC needs to help make it more reliable, run more smoothly, and even more enjoyable to use. Think of it as a free all-in-one tune up for your PC.
There are two service packs for Windows Vista. Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released in April 2008, and might already be installed on your PC (to find out, click on the Start button and enter "winver" in the search box). Service Pack 2 (SP2), available in May 2009, contains all the updates Microsoft have released since SP1 plus support for new types of hardware and emerging hardware standards. You should install both Service Packs, and you need to install SP1 before SP2.
