I've responded there, indicating that such a problem does not exist for SP2. SP2 is already installed on a hell of a lot of PCs around the world, without any problems at all. It's already undergone a lengthy process of 'ironing out bugs'

Ok, i don't know about SP2 being totally perfect....... but i found a webpage on microsoft's site that KINDA helped me with some of the problems. Someone previously listed it in one of the forums regarding a similar problem. Here it is: http://support.microsoft.com/default...t=windowsxpsp2

I agree totally. Im running SP2 right now and ive noticed some serious problems. but being a computer hacker, I disabled most of the services that SP2 employs and im safe for now until i format agian. But there are some serious faults in SP2. one being that it uses your CPU less efficiently, possibly a conflict between services? another this is that bandwith is severely limited. Im on a 5Mbit line at home and the most I can get now is around 1.5Mbit. The firewall is a joke, and its possibly less secure then in previous versions. The only thing thats kinda good that came out of this is the pop up blocker for IE. Although i dont use it, i bet there are people out there thatcan breath a sigh of relief.

Thos are some of the problems I have been having. Amongst countless others, that would take me too long to mention. Im still not done disecting SP2, but I would caution all of you to NOT download SP2 until it has been upgraded a little bit.

I'm sure the response I just made to another of your silly comments is reaction enough to this one, Mastadex!

Here it is!

Of course SP2 is not perfect. No-one claims that it is. But those people who DON'T install it are simply penalising themselves through stubborn pig-headedness and ignorance. ALL security updates should be installed.

Being a self-proclaimed 'hacker' is no claim to credibility, and even if it was an irresponsible suggestion still remains an irresponsible suggestion. Such comments are not really worthy contributions to a Technical assistance forum!
