Windows Service Pack 2

[TMD]

I am currently running Service Pack 1 on my Computer via Windows XP Home. It keeps asking me to install Service Pack 2, but I don't want to because I have heard rumours of people getting graphics problems after that where they have ended up having to re-install their graphics drivers.

Is this true? Or is their any download I can download before hand to have it ready encase of this situation?

Thanks.

I haven't heard of any graphics problems on SP2

If anything, your graphics will be better because Microsoft is still supporting SP2, SP1 and below aren't supported anymore.

You can download SP2 on it's own, and install it later. Or you can slipstream it with your SP1 disk.

Me neither.

@TMD In my opinion SP2 is nessarcary for every average home user.

I would follow talldude123's advise and install it. Make sure you have a upto date back tho just to be safe!
