I have installed XP SP2 also and have had no problems. Follow John Nielsen's advice about checking the software incompatibility list (many have workarounds). Here is the link:

Basically, if you system is running well and virus/popup free, SP2 should work great and add a lot of much needed security fixes but if you have problems, solve them first before installing SP2.

Feel free to hate me for using windows. I think I've heard bad things about the new service pack, but incidentily my windows install started freaking out on me today so I was considering installing it. Any advice? ---- Ryan Bowman I can feel the walls closing in on me, the door at the end of the tunnel is far too small... - Closing In 2.0 - Don't Be Afraid - insoc.org --- _____________________________________________________________ Linux.Net -->Open Source to everyone Powered by Linare Corporation http://www.linare.com/ ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
