| 135027 | 2003-04-11 07:51:00 | not really up to you service pack 1 has problems will slow your PC down just make sure you use a firwall like zonealarm and a antivirus | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 135028 | 2003-04-11 08:05:00 | Hi ojos Since you only got your PC with XP on it last week, it should have come with SP1 included. You can check this by going Start > Control Panel > System or by pushing the WinKey (has Windows Flag on it) + Pause/break key simultaneously. You will see listed your OS plus any Service Packs. What is this SP2? Jen |

| 135030 | 2003-04-11 08:54:00 | > Do I need to run service packs 1 Microsoft recommends that you install SP1. It fixes a lot of bugs & it has some new features in it You can get more information here: www.microsoft.com > and 2? At the moment there is no such thing as a Win XP SP 2. But a 2nd SP is going too come out soon. Hope this helps if you have any more questions just ask. :) |

| 135031 | 2003-04-15 08:33:00 | thanks for your reply. I have been told there are some problems arise when loading sp1. However I checked on the machien and it says it's already included. I got a disk last week with office sp2 on it. This will not be the same as windows sp2, I think. cheers, ojos |

I am not too sure about, But I thank I am right ;) But I do not think that any windows SP "Phone home" it will be a progume on your pc which will be "Phoning home" & if it is a win SP that is "Phoning home” then some one has put some spy awaye in it. |
