XP SP2

[Tullphan]

My automatic update is ready to install it, but i'm leery...should I be?

 

[yankeesfan]

yes, it has been safe from the beginning

 

[warcrow]

I would wait......but hey! I know of one person who has not had a single issue with SP2. Maybe you'll be lucky #2?

 

[viivo]

Only if you play a lot of games, but even then it's a small amount that are affected.

Then count me in as #3

I've installed it on all three computers in our house without problems.

 

[lavagirl669]

no problems with it as of install over a week ago.

Go for it :thumbsup:

 

[Gooberlx2]

yeah, it works fine for me

There's no reason not to install it.

 

[cchen]

I've installed it at all the computers at work and then for some reason none of them would connect to the Internet.... no idea why, check all firewall, IE, network settings and they were fine

It hosed my entire media collection on my notebook. Apparently, the DEP(?) of my A64 based notebook believes that all my vids are now infected with viruses. I'd be very wary if you use a lot of DivX and XviD movies. BTW, disabling the 'feature' didn't solve the issue.

Esp. if you dont use sp2 firewall (or play multiplayer), which is apparently what leads to the presence of most of the games on the "incompatible" list.

Just downloaded it today so I'll see how it goes. Wanted to wait for some feedback on it.

 

[BespinReactorShaft]

Friend's WLAN died after installing it. :disgust:

 

[LTC8K6]

I downloade it over a dialup connection.

I have no problems to report.

I have a P4P800 Deluxe mobo, and SP2 works like a charm. I can't even tell it's installed, because I disabled the firewall and the security center. My computer runs the same as it always has.

 

[Drakkon]

yep we have 2 of the dlx and 3 orf th E but all with the same GFX card....thus I'm thinking its the SH*tty graphics card at this point cause i really like the mobos

 

[rocketbubba]

Installed SP2 with the Security Center running and all is fine. No worries!

 

[Staver]

It installed fine here, but if it causes problems then do a system restore rather than an uninstall since it hangs some computers.

 

[Smilin]

YAY!!! Another FUD thread. YAAAAYYYY!!!!!


I knew this guy who installed sp2, next day his arm fell off. True story.
