Do you have SP2 installed into your XP computer?

[Guest Blank Space]

I am thinking if I should update to SP2. I have Sp1 right now, but I would like to see how many people here have SP2 on their XP computer.

[dMog]

yea i got it and now that kazalite 2.7 works with sp2 no-one has reason to not have it installed :)

[Snake]

Yes, but SLIPSTREAM also! you can make a slipstreamed cd here: Linky. I had major problems installing SP2 from Windows Updates, so what i did was i made a Slipstreamed sp2 cd and then just installed over.

[Guest Blank Space]

I was lucky to obtain an SP2 CD, so I won't be using Windows Update.

I had SP2, but for some reason it was uninstalled. I was planning to download it again, but I can never connect to Micrsoft's Web Site.

i have SP2, but i don't know if would recommend it or not. don't really notice any difference :P

and it was me that added the "Yes, but I don't know if I would recommend it or not." option, or "candidate" :D

[nsane]

i'd recommend installing it, aside from the corrupting of software, it actually includes ALOT of security updates :P

Sorry, i mean to say both the cd and windows updates were f****d up.

[Chicano666]

Guess I'll have to order a CD because I always get an error message when trying to update.

maybe you have a pirated copy of windows xp? a "friend" :P of mine did and he decided to format his computer before he installed SP2 just to start off fresh (he had installed it off a CD he ordered about a month or 2 earlier). after he formatted his computer and he tried to install SP2 it wouldn't let him. so he formatted again for some stupid reason and got the problem once more. after the last time he did it, he finally learned his lesson and went online where he found a "special key" :D and entered that one when he had to enter it when Windows XP waqs being installed. He put in the SP2 CD and it installed like a charm. he should of known better from a very similar experience he had before, I tell you, people these days :P :D

[Snake]

People, also slipstream your windows cd. its very usefull if you ever have to like reformat or reinstall windows or something like that, then you dont have to install sp2 again! Heres the LINK

EDIT:Made one days ago and works like a charm :P

[Snake]

Yea when it came out, it totally messed up some of my apps and programs, so I had to do a reformat at the time.

I waited a few months before I managed to pluck up the courage again to reinstall it, with of course using the lvllord patch to increase the connections.

It does fix a shedload of security flaws though, which was my main concern.

I would recommend getting it, but in any case, you'll be getting it whether you like it or not. Microsoft will be disabling the auto-update feature for SP2 so whether you have it enabled or disabled, you're getting it one way or another. I'll try and find the article related to this.

No, XP came with the PC when I bought it, and I don't have the XP CD so I ordered a SP2 CD.

[nsane]

so the SP2 CD is a full windows install? :hypocrite:
