Windows XP - Service Pack 2 - Anyday now!

[Beerknurd]

Well I don't have any of the programs listed.. So hopefully all will be good upon reboot. Which I need to do badly. It's been about 6 days.....

how did the upgrade work and how do you guys like the new windows? do you recommend it? any comments?

I didn't dare install it as I use Outlook XP and it was on the list of applications that MicroSoft said were affected adversely by SP2.

[Beerknurd]

Oooops.... I didn't see Outlook on the list.... I will watch for problems..

[Beerknurd]

I don't get it... I downloaded SP2, intalled it. Didn't reboot for like a week. Finally rebooted, thought I had it. Went to Windows website, it told me I didn't have and said that it wasn't available yet and tried to get me to turn on windows update.......


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Windows sucks...... Anyone got a Linux CD I can borrow...????

[Beerknurd]

Finally installed SP2, again...... Nothing bad has happened yet. Except in outlook express, when I get an email with graphics I have to ok them. I'll figure out how to turn it off sooner or later... Is there any other problems I should be looking for????

I haven't had any - The thing with the pics on email is supposed to help reduce spam. Supposedly when the email downloads the pics from the server that lets spam sender know it is a valid address. I think you can tell it which ones are "safe". Otherwise only issue I noticed, which maybe good I guess, is you can not send .exe files or recieve them by outlook or ms messenger. Zipped files are ok though.

[Beerknurd]

Well I'm sure something will come up sooner or later.
