| 262312 | 2004-08-16 12:20:00 | I loaded XP SP2 (beta release - RC2) on a machine a while ago. Now, what shall I do? Do I have to uninstall the Beta release and install the official release? Cheers |

| 262314 | 2004-08-16 12:24:00 | no you dont have to remove the RC2 version. just roll the full version over the top and all will be good. I have seen no diffrance between the RC2 version and the final version but it is best to install the final version to be safe. |

I installed a Beta release while while back then reformatted the hard drive then re-installed WinXP and chucked Service Pack 1 on. I installed SP2 over my WinXP SP1 and had no problems. From what I can figure you can just install the RTM version of SP2 over the Beta release. |

| 262317 | 2004-08-16 22:31:00 | Well, my Beta RC2 is working fine. Can I create a Restore point before loading the Released SP2 just in case something should go wrong? Or I can just uninstall it? Cheers |

| 262319 | 2004-08-17 00:43:00 | XP should always create a restore point automatically before running and installing the updates. Mine does, always has. Are you saying that yours does not create a restore point automatically? |

| 262320 | 2004-08-17 01:27:00 | Shouldn't need it. :D This is the product of Microsoft's new emphasis on security and stability. So it's perfect. Isn't it? ]:) | Graham L (2) | ||
