Roll back to Service pack one using System restore, else make sure Microsoft Firewall is OFF else it will block most pages :D

I don't think the firewall should have anything to do with how many times you have to click a link to follow it :p But then, that's should :p

How come I'm the only one who downloaded service pack 2 and didn't get my internet messed up?

Bleys told me to uninstall service pack 2 dispite the fact that in the weeks that I've owned it nothing bad has happened to my PC.

By who? :p

I had the same thing, SP2 just downloads and installs itself on most computers without the users permission, I even had automatic updates off and it did it.

Problem with SP2 = It has a virus hole the size of North America in it where images on webpages can discuise virus', download onto your computer without asking and then install themselves on restart :D

I agree with Bleys :D

It installed on me too, so how do I get rid of it? Just go to add/remove programs in control panel and uninstall it? Or some other way?

I have noticed that alot of internet pages aren't showing up, and my hotmail is completely screwed (doesn't display).

I just did the system restore to before it was installed.

How do I do a system restore for WinXP?

Start-control panel-performance/maintenance and it should be on the left side like in a list sort of thing atleast that's how it is in XP pro.

Thanks for that, I rolled it back to August 23rd, just before SP2 was download and now I feel safe again. =D
