Don't think so, which might have helped (albeit at more expense), but the No 1 priority is my digitizer - so out it goes - it's gone, and I'm back to 'normal'. Just can't do without my digitizer - 'absolute mode' rules!

268607 2004-09-09 22:29:00 My PC had been playing up, was full of left over bits and pieces of programs, and was taking forever to load.

I re-formatted my PC and then installed SP2.

Verdict:

No issues whatsoever. Boots up very quickly. Runs fast. Didn't get the blaster or any other nasty as soon as I connected to the net.

268608 2004-09-09 22:32:00 I have installed SP2 twice now on this machine. First time was a standard SP2 install on an active OS, which worked fine, running for a number of weeks.

Second time was a slipstream install after a reformat several days ago. Works fine, no issues.

One thing I did notice though, and I saw a couple of references to it in this thread, after the first install of it (and I didn't really realise it until I read this thread) the autostart of some CDs did not work after applying the service pack. It didn't seem to affect all CDs however. But after the slipstream install all CDs are autostarting as they should. I wonder how many others have lost their autostart feature?

Mike.

268609 2004-09-11 05:06:00 I am a Microsoft Beta Tester and have had all the beta versions installed on a P4 2.4ghz leading up to the final public release. I only experienced a printer related problem in an early version, but this was resolved in a later release. I am yet to download the final version, 2082 is close enough. Craig (448)
268610 2004-09-11 23:14:00 Well, I sent away for the SP2 cd from microsoft and lo and behold it arrived after a week from Dubai. Backed up and installed with no problems. Been running it for a week now and noticed nothing untoward so far. dipstick01 (445)
