I don't use WindowsXP but still feel the need to vote in this poll.
As I've heard from friends who do, it can cause some problems if you've already configured WXP to you're liking (for example, disabling pretty much everything but Explorer and Systray).
no its not. after i did, i couldn't play some of my video files....most of my video files. be warned!it may not happen 2 you, so good luck
Much like a fragile and unstable house of playing cards, it's best to get XP to a state where it's mostly intact and functioning and then back far away. On the other hand if your XP install is already collapsing under its own weight into a black-hole of bugginess, why not try SP2. It might be amusing, or it might force you to reformat your HD, if you've been trying to put that off for a while.
Unne, you say that XP is bad but I've never really had problems with XP. Can you kinda explain why it's bad if you don't mind?
its deleted some of my files, plus SP2 wouldn't allow me 2 view some of my video files
Buddy, I doubt that has to do with SP2, sounds like another codec dificulty.Originally Posted by Lon611
I haven't done it because my Windows update got screwed up when I tried installing SP1. It don't work no more
i wish my windows update would stop working
I downloaded the SP2, and had a spike in viruses (7) within a few days. I'm going to assume it's just a bad coincidence. Still, I can't think of any other source of potential viruses. My email inbox is as stagnant as the FFV forum, so I almost never check it.
Knock yourselves down.
No problems so far, except that my copy of windowblinds doesn't show the skin I want properly. So now I have the classic windows skin. Other than that, no problems. I disabled firewall, antivirus check, and pretty much everything I could.
So BASICALLY I installed an update without using any of its features. Bloated? Like me after a workout, bay-bee!
I installed it. I didn't like it. SP2 basically treats you like you are going to mess up your computer at every move you make. I system restored it to before I installed SP2, and I'm happier because of it.
*uses NT2000prof*
Windows XP + SP1 & 2 > Windows ME
As you can see, I use windows ME.
The only that's saved it from being smashed in many a time is scanreg /restore
No thanks. I'm having enough trouble with the default bugs.
