260698 2004-08-11 23:32:00 I am running Windows XP Professional on my PC, but not Internet Explorer or Outlook Express. I have opted to use Firefox and Thunderbird.

Will the new SP2 load successfully onto my PC if I don't have IE or OE loaded?

260699 2004-08-11 23:46:00 IE will still be there even though you no longer use it. That is the beauty (not) of MS's approach to web browsing, they embedded their browser into the OS, that's XP in your case.

If you don’t have IE & OE Not installed then windows will Not work :D ;) ( as OE/IE is part of Windows)

But if you mean you opted to used Firefox and Thunderbird instead of IE/OE then... Yes Win Xp Sp2 Will install fine & both Firefox and Thunderbird will still work after you install Win XP Sp2 :)

PS: Just a Tip: Make sure you backup every thing before you update to Sp2, just to be on the safe side :)
