service pack 2

[daszear]

for those of you running xp norton 2003 and earlier is incompatable with this new service pack an upgrade to 2004 is vital in keeping your system protected. if you are running a machine that did not orginally come with xp is highly recommended that you check that that model's drivers are sp2 compatible.

for those of you who dont like paying for software

I just upgraded with that new service pack and now my computers run incredibly slow! What changed or how can I "fix" my processing speed?

Also, now I have an imbedded pop-up that I cant seem to eliminate. Farking Microsoft.

I upgraded and it seems to work fine

i had it and agree it really was slow so i took it off

Me thinks I'll wait a while to install sp2, seems to be flakey, what a suprise!

so far the only problems I have heard of are the illegal copies not working

NO PROBLEM!

I have service pack 2 and have not had any problems with it my computer tech installed it and it works great.

I too, am in the "incredibly slow system" camp after installing SP2. So, I rolled it back...
