Could someone who is computer knowledgeable answer this question? I know it's not DS related but perhaps it could be helpful to others who use computers to access this forum ..
I have had so-called "Dell Service Alerts" pop up on my laptop from time to time. These aren't dated items and it took me a while to realize that some of them were just general information about the computer. Now, however, I have gotten a couple of these Dell Service Alerts regarding Windows SP2. They say I should download and install this. Since these aren't dated messages, I have no idea if this is something new or not. I could swear that I downloaded something called "Service Pack 2" for Windows back in February. I remember the "SP2."
However, I cannot find that anywhere on my system.
For more information the Dell message said to go to Microsoft's page. So I went to that page, and it scanned my system and said I needed to download and install it, a process that would take over an hour.
However, I don't want to do that if it's already on my computer.
Also, if it's really that important, I should have gotten a Windows Update message automatically, and I've never gotten one of those.
Does anyone know what the heck this SP2 is all about, and if it's something that has just come out, or might I have indeed installed it last February?
How important is it?
Thank you in advance, anyone who can help ...
