Service Pack 2 For Vista is out -- Working good on the Cricket Broadband A600
Paul Sylvester
Microsoft has sent out Service pack 2 for Vista, and so I installed it on my machine to see what happens with the [intlink id="3479" type="post"]Cricket Modem[/intlink]. The Files Microsoft are letting people download are:
All of these are KB948465 and will be released on June 30, 2009 via Automatic updates. I also tested it out and I have a 32 bit system. I am unsure as to the other systems if the Cricket Broadband works or not on the [intlink id="1936" type="post"]UM100 Modem.[/intlink] I have the [intlink id="3059" type="post"]A600 Cricket Broadband modem[/intlink] and it installed without a hitch.
According to Ars technica this Service Pack has over 800 hot fixes and have fixed several things that Microsoft did wrong with Service Pack 1. If you have the Beta version you will have to unistall it before you install this service pack. I would love to hear of any problems with Cricket Broadband from others in the forums. If you have problems let me know and I'll do my best to help you out.
If you want to find out some of the fixes Microsoft sent out in this service pack you can see some of the updates on the Ars Technica article about what they fixed or changed. That list isn't a complete list but it highlights some of them. If you haven't installed [intlink id="843" type="post"]Service Pack 1[/intlink], you will need to install that before you can install Service pack 2.
