HEy gr8 hope Microsoft Comes Up with one Operating system that never has bugs microsoft is very famous for making operating systems where any hacker can put in a virus but guys i would say GR8 dont install SP2 as of now it sucks and it would definately screw ur system

yes it realy sucks. My neighbour has a Duron 1.2GHz and it ran like a 100MHz P1, hehe

Yeah My friend has a dell Inspiron and he did the same foolish mistake of installing SP2 and he jacked his whole notebook

how about uninstall? SP1 has that option. I've been downloading it for 2 days now (SP2--admin's package)...~264 MB...freakin' dial-up But yeah, I fully plan to install it, when I get it. LoL. No reason beyond I like keeping everything up-to-date (bad in most cases, rarely useful...yet I like doing it!) Tehe...

i uninstalled SP2 on my neighbours comp. It didn't help

 

[Vormund]

Yeah, I was wondering if that'd be the case. Oh well. I'll set this "rule" for myself: if it screws up the computer, not only will I reformat, but I will build a new computer. This one can just barley take Doom 3--and I want to be able to handle the newer ones...

You guys think it's a coincidence that my computer crapped out a week or two after installing SP2? I was optimistic, and my dad installed it...now we got one computer: mine

probably due to SP2
