re:SP2 issue..I have found in my experiences that there can indeed be some issues with the install of SP2...specifically on an already 'seasoned' OS...
on the other hand, I have had no noticeable problems when SP2 was installed as part of a reformat/clean install of the OS...i.e. format the HDD, install XP, then immediately install SP2...err, make that install XP, install chipset drivers appropriate for the MoBo, then install SP2... |
