It is 75 MB for a personal user. I downloaded and installed it yesterday afternoon and have had no problems with it. It doesn't conflict with any program on my machine. But I don't run any games. A good deal of the code seemed to be concerned with set-up. There was an automatic back-up of files and registry and a setting of a restore point. Only then did new files begin to be installed. There may be patches for things and changes that will help with future updates. However, as near as I can tell, the new "Security System" in SP2 does seem tp be the firewall and it does seem to constitute the main part of the Service Pack. I disabled that, because I prefer to use a different firewall. And I disabled a little "notify" function which constantly wanted to tell me I had no anti-virus, because Windows doesn't recognize the anti-virus program I use. I do like to use Internet Explorer from time to time, so I think I'm better off to have SP2. In the end, I think it may come down to individual choice, what's best to do in a particular XP user's situation. -- Best regards, Mary The Bat! 2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
