Windows Xp Sp2

[tooyoung]

Ok,

Has anyone else tried installing this yet and if so have you had any problems?

Windows update has downloaded it for me, but I diagnose software installation issues at work and can't be really be ar**ed doing it at home

Thanks,

[alanbradley]

In my experience, yes! In other people's experience, no!

I've installed it on 3 PCs (all totally different) without any problems, but I know others on here haven't been so fortunate.

Good luck,

Alan

i got it, worked perfect, but others have been vitcims

I personally would only install it if you havent got a firewall of some sorts on your pc already.

I use Norton Internet Security on my PC thus dont want SP2 just yet as the new features of SP2 do the same job as my existing software.

2002 and 2003 are fine with XP

Breezer is that XP Home or Pro. Home is a pain in the aris, Pro is much quicker.

I've had no probs with SP2 seems much better.

Is that Home or Pro. Pro is much better and quicker.

It's installing. If I don't come back on-line for a week, you'll know why....

[Robie]

My pc is fine with sp2.

Breezer is your xp a dodgy copy? If you hat it so much why do you keep installing xp again and not use something else. I hear linux is fun.

[vmail]

got win98, linux and server 2003 running on the same PC at the same time, took me a while to install linux though

Ditto

and I've installed in on 4 pcs so far, no issues.

[Jamesb4uk]

only issues ive had with SP2 are after i uninstalled Zonealarm security suite XP won't connect to the net..

tried both Cabled & wiFi - both pickup a DHCP assigned IP address & still nothing.....

ohh & now windows is telling me ive got 5 days to activate when i activated as soon as i installed XP.....

grrrrrrrr

I refuse to put SP2 on my work PC... not my job and I dont want it cocking it up... use win2k at home.. but even if I did upgrade to my XP I have seen too many peeps with issues....

Im glad most of you got it working fine...

I am waiting on a decent SP :P

Same here, but then... a few days later, nowt would work :o

Nope, wont touch it with a 10ft barge pole. Unfortunately my company thought it wise to bring out a SP2 book and cd, and we've had nothing but trouble from it :(

[GT4 BOOSTER]

i've been running xp pro with sp2 for months now , no problems at all.
