I have read that downloading SP2 can cause serious problems with your computer. Any truth to that?

No. None whatsoever. I love SP2. It has a great firewall built in as well as an excellent pop-up blocker. (I previously relied on free, separate programs to perform these two functions.) My computer has been quite stable since I downloaded it.

I have automatic updates set up on my computer. With all the bad 'bogeymen' out there, I don't see any reason to surf naked. SP2 monitors my anti-virus definitions, firewall setup, and automatic updates to alert me when there's a problem. That's the way I like it.

Your the second person who has recommended SP2. Thanks

I too have the Windows XP SP2, that I have downloaded from Microsoft. No problems, and have my computer set to inform me when ever ther are new updates. Evertime a new update or problem exist out there My computer notify me that there is an update to install. Works great for me. Give it a try, there shouldn't be a problem if you keep up with the updates.

I just put SP2 on my laptop and now my Network Connections (when you right-click on My Network Places and go to Properties) are all gone.

Also, when I open My Computer, it takes about 30 seconds before the list of drives shows up.



yay.
