| 315916 | 2005-01-20 08:28:00 | I have installed SP2 on 6 desktops and one laptop without any hassles whatever. I used the disk which came with PC World some time ago. I would say however, that all the computers had been updated and patched regularly from Windows Update - there could well be problems if the OS had not been properly maintained beforehand. |

| 315917 | 2005-01-20 09:22:00 | I haven't installed it, and I have got other patches since I refused to instal SP2. I have also fixed 2 computers whose printers didn't print after SP2 was installed. So for me, I just couldn't be bothered upsetting what wasn't broke. I use firewall, av, spyware, etc, firefox, and thunderbird, very rarely do I ever use IE, so thought I would just leave mine as it is, as so far, touch wood, I haven't had any problems. | supergran (108) | ||

| 315919 | 2005-01-20 10:16:00 | Sp2 is Ok, but I didn't like the Sp2 bootscreen so I modded the ntoskernel.exe back to the normal XP bootscreen. (It's actually quite easy, shame about the limited palette) |

| 315920 | 2005-01-20 13:42:00 | My computer went funny about 2 days after installing SP2, but sorted itself out within a couple of days. I'm pretty sure that nothing I did was responsible. Vince |

| 315921 | 2005-01-20 17:20:00 | My computer crashed and when we reinstalled stuff, the tech said to add SP2 to a clean installation before adding programs. We did and the computer just acted funny. We did updates, restarts, and nothing helped. We then tried through Install/Uninstall to remove it and it blue screened my puter and dumped everything. I'm not going to reinstall it since I use a anti'virus and firewall and have had no problems. | astikali (6925) | ||
| 315922 | 2005-01-20 18:15:00 | My computer and I are not into humour at these times,so there was no acting funny for us and all is well since SP2 was installed. :D | Cicero (40) | ||
| 315923 | 2005-01-20 20:12:00 | I Couldn't resist the wild-card vote! "I hate Microsoft and have decided to contribute meaninglessly because I'm bored" Fact of the matter is that i'm d/loading SP2 for a friend today. M$ systems aren't my preference, but SP2 seems a good idea for those that use M$. :D |

| 315924 | 2005-01-20 20:17:00 | I have installed SP2 on four computers, all of which had SP1 already installed, and have had no problems at all. Three were XP Pro, one was XP Home. | John H (8) | ||
