Subject: How do I get Service Pack 2 for Windows 7?

I know my ways. So just stay back.

I'm trying to get Civ 5 to work. They released a newsletter saying that DirectX 9 is associated with a lot of the crashing problems Civ 5 has. I tried googling service pack 2, but all I got was a bunch of news articles say Microsoft wont come out with Service Pack 2. I'm still going to keep my hopes up and try. Do any of you know how to get Service Pack 2?

Your system should update automatically. Is yours off?

So why does DirectX 10 and 11 require Service Pack 2?

You sure it isn't XP SP2? Win7 only has one SP.

Windows 7 only has a single service pack.

Perhaps you've mixed up with Vista since that has two service packs.

I don't know it just says, "Requires Service Pack 2 or greater"

Well Windows 7 supports DirectX 10 and 11 so it's likely referring to XP. If you have Windows 7 it should be a non-issue.

So then is there a special install for DirectX, because I'm still denied the DirectX 10 and 11 modes of Civ 5.
