Mastertech is right...SP 2 has many improvements, thats why this and other board as full of threads by people needing help when they install SP2, thread after thread people's computer freezes, crashes, programs dont work. I still think SP2 is rubbish, Ive never had a single issue since sp1, my zone alarm security suite keep me 100% safe online. my advice is DO NOT install SP2, no matter what hype MS trawls out. if you dont beleive me, ask others who havent installed SP2, see if they have had problems
