270590 2004-09-09 03:33:00 I have XP Pro installed and I use My IE2 instead of Windows Explorer,use Zone Alarm Pro as a firewall, Kaspersky Gold as a virus protection dont use Outlook Express or Messenger and wonder what or do I need to install service pack 2 when I read of some problems that could develop if it is installed with some software. Will it do anything for me with the above programs I have installed and touch wood I have never had a virus or any problems with my system that has caused major problems Thanks norrol (2154)
270591 2004-09-09 03:43:00 There are some threads stickied at the top of the page which will probably answer your questions or ask in there. There is also a link to the programmes that have conflicted or shown problems with SP2 in at least one of the threads, although I would not count such a list as exhautive at this stage of proceedings.

MyEI is just IE with bells, if your concerned about IE security use a different engine like Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, etc.

I don't use XP but, if I did, I would install SP2 but wait a while yet before doing so.

If you are careful & keep the AV & Fire Wall updated you shouldn't have any problems. You would probably be safer using Mazilla Firefox than your modifeid Internet Explorer.

Those Programs should work fine after you install SP 2, on our other computer which has SP2 on it we have Zone Alarm Pro as the firewall & it works fine.

If you do have any problems just post here & I or some one else will try & help you :)
