Hey tick f@ckwit (as you so elequently put it),
I don't have system problems, I have email problems. Problems I (and many
other posters) did not have until SP2. If you're going to make stupid
remarks, at least know what the thread is about.

If you truly know about SP2, YOU would know it had a pop up screen
that said "please wait while we backup your files." Ergo, backups
(or lack thereof) were not the problem anyway.
You truly are a f*ckwit of the highest order. Are you seriously telling us -
in all seriousness - that you thought that 'backing up files' meant it was
performing a full system backup?! It backs the files that SP2 updates,
nothing more. It takes about five minutes (if that) to back up files - you
seriously think that, in that time, it backs up your entire hard drive in
that time?! But, had you bothered to do any homework at all, you'd have
known that.
The problem is, where
did it put the backed up files, what was I supposed to do with them
and (most importantly), why should I know what to do with them?
See above.
This isn't my field! It's Microsoft's!
And how is common sense and clue Microsoft's field?! You clearly have
neither. How on earth can it be Microsoft's fault if you fail to sustain a
properly maintained system?! Is it Microsoft's fault that you completely
failed to perform a full system back up before proceeding with such a major
update?! No it is not. Stop blaming Microsoft for your own stupidity!
Your doctor does not expect
you to be medically trained to be treated, your phamacist does not
expect you to know how drugs interact, whu are computer people always
expecting the general public to learn THEIR profession?
Erm, they don't. However, a doctor does expect that their patient has the
common sense to read the label on the medicine bottle and follow the
instructions. Microsoft expects their users to have the common sense to
perform a full system backup and cleanse their systems; but, in case they
don't, they put full instructions on their website here
http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...xp/choose.aspx,
specifically for cretinous morons (or moronic cretins) such as you.
I'll quote the front page for you.
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides better protection against viruses,
hackers, and worms, and includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for
Internet Explorer, and the new Windows Security Center.
Important: Follow these steps before installing Windows XP SP2 to
prevent potential conflicts with other software on your computer:
1. Back up your critical files
2. Check your computer for spyware and other unwanted software
3. Check for special update instructions from your computer's
manufacturer.
Once you have completed these steps, you can download this and all other
critical updates.
The best thing you can do now is sell your computer and buy a PlayStation.
You don't have the mental capability - or the common sense - to operate a
computer. Or, if your computer is still under warranty, suggest you package
it back up and take it back to the shop and tell them you're too stupid to
own a computer.
You are a moron.
