you are probably the average moron running norton system
works and internet security and left them running while
installing.

What does that mean exactly? And where did you learn that will give you
problem?




...
blah blah blah blah.

been there heard that before.

have installed sp2 on thousands of systems without
problems, I have fixed people with sp2 problems it is
never sp2 that is the problem it is the customers
software or hardware always everytime. you have old
software or viruses or spyware ,assuming your hardware is
up to sp2 and of course you did the minimum and disabled
firewalls and virus protectors.

I decided to try installing SP2, just for the fun of it.
To be
honest, I didn't expect any problems since I've got a
fast, up to
date computer with standard hardware -- nothing strange
about my
setup at all.

It installed fine from the CD that Microsoft sent me,
but then
when I rebooted I got a stop screen, whatever the hell
that is ...
some sort of memory address error. Nothing I could do
would get
rid of it. I tried going into Safe Mode and turning off
some of
the programs that was loading, but still got the crash.

Lucky for me, I had the sense to make a mirror backup of
my C
drive just before trying to install SP2, so half an hour
later, I
was back where I started ... with a stable, rock solid
computer
that has *never* given a memory address error.

Microsoft lapdogs can say what they want about proper
preparation
for SP2 and outdated drivers and wonky hardware and all
the other
bull**** they come out with, but it doesn't change the
fact that
SP2 is a bad piece of code that should never have been
released.
