Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack update
Service packs are the means by which Windows NT product updates
are distributed. Service packs keep the product current, and extend and
update your computer's functionality. Service packs include updates, system
administration tools, drivers, and additional components. All are conveniently
bundled for easy downloading. Service packs are cumulative -- each new
service pack contains all the fixes in previous service packs, as well
as any new fixes. You do not need to install a previous service pack before
you install the latest one.
Determine if you need a service pack update:
1. Click "Start" in the lower left hand corner
of your screen.
2. Click "Programs".
3. Click "Administrative Tools (common)".
4. Click "Windows NT Diagnostics". A "Windows
NT Diagnostics" panel will appear.
5. Click the panel tab labeled "Version". The
version and service pack numbers are displayed.
How to update to the latest service pack version (Internet Explorer
3.02 or later required):
1. Upgrading Internet
Explorer is recommended (though not required) before continuing to
the next step.
2. Go to the following URL: Windows
NT 4.0 Server Downloads.
3. Under the heading "Windows Update" click on "Windows
NT 4.0 Service Pack...".
4. Click the grey "Download" button.
5. If a "Security Information" panel appears, click
"Continue".
6. Click the grey button labeled "High Encryption
Version".
7. Again, a grey "Security Information" may appear.
If so click "Continue".
8. If your PC is not on a network choose "Express
Download". Save the file to your
Desktop.
9. If your PC is connected to a network choose "Network
Download". Save the file to your
Desktop.
10. Close your browser and locate the newly saved file on your
PC Desktop.
11. Accept the "License Agreement. Click "Install".
12. When the installation is complete, restart your computer.
