SP2 killed my computer...
I downloaded SP2 and kept getting a meassge that said...
"Windows explorer has encountered a problem and nees to close, sorry for any inconvience..." My computer would freeze up or just get really sluggish after I clicked close. I uninstalled SP2 and it still kept happening. Then I (stupidly) deleted the SP2 hot fixes. Then my computer wouldn't boot and I had to reformat the entire computer. Does anyone know what might have happened to cause this so I know what to do if it happens again ??? (besides not installing SP2) ;^) Thanks!!! |

This would a perfect chance to install SP2, especially if you just performed
a clean installed. Many things could have happen. Did you make sure you were ready to install SP2. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/s...hattoknow.mspx Good Luck -- William "Zapp Brannigan" wrote in message ...

I'm not sure what caused it but now's the time to try the SP-2 with a fresh install of XP. I had a similar problem with a HP Pavilion that belonged to my son and a fresh OS install followed by SP-2 worked fine. -- F1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ F1's Profile: http://www.iamnotageek.com/member.php?userid=1282 View this thread: http://www.iamnotageek.com/showthread.php?t=798367 |

SP2 killed my computer...
Too much trouble. The computer ran fine before. It will run fine without it.
I installed it becuse windows update kept sending it to me without telling me I had to ready my computer for it... "WTC" wrote in message ...

SP2 killed my computer...
My friend is running a bootleg version (cracked so the code works) of XP Pro
that won't allow him to do any updates and he's running it without SP1, and it's working fine. Why would I have to install SP2 sooner or later. I'm sorry but I know next to nothing about computers.

I have also had the same problem and done everything I could to correct it.
But still I'm searching for a solution. I have even send a request to MS XP Supportcenter and awaiting for a reply. I still don't understand the policies of MS before even correcting their faults they force you to update because they are ending the support. This is typical MS...!

Hi Mike,
Why is it so hard to take up a critic as an objective one rather than slaming the door on our face. We are frustated becuse we are force to do something and instead of better it has become worse. That should get attaintion than talking about tires. The tires can be baught an use without problem not when you OS ****es you off. Sorry for being harsh. I think you have to think about the user not the pride. Take critics as objective. Then you win people than loose them. I have the same experience as you. But allways the customer is right.

You work on the premise that SP2 will automatically cause problems, but that is not true for many others who have downloaded the update.. It has to be realized that SP2 is a step forwards in computer security.. the conditions that make SP2 a necessity are not going away any time soon.. so should the customer be allowed to think that he is always right, should he be educated in the way that things are and will become, or should we just leave him temporarily contented in ignorance?.. If we knowingly leave him in the dark age, and he gets to find out, there will be no thanks given and you certainly won't win him over in the long run.. Supporting SP2 is not a matter of pride.. it is common sense.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/user "Paul Perera" wrote in message ...

SP2 killed my computer...
Mike,
Very sorry to inform you that you may have tacken me for just a ordinery person. But I'm not going to response to you'r reply. The only thing is I hvae been in the IT branch for th past 14 years and started with the DOS 2.0 with only 640 KB RAM and 160kb floppy drive with a processor of the speed of 8mz. So I hope you will get a good idea how long i have been involved this IT problems. So we shall drop all the bul**** and try to find a solution for the problem instead. I have the impression that as you say, "that I premise that SP2 will automaticaly cause problems", Let me put the question to you in another form. Why is the OS working perfectly when I remove the SP2 but not when I reinstall it? If you can answer that for me then I will be happy. Nice haveing this conversation with you. This reminds me of a person who studied together with me while I was stuing for Certification for Software Archtecture. He was a MCP. Hope to hear view from you.

SP2 killed my computer...
Paul
There are many people who considered their computer(s) to be working well until their first encounter with SP2.. the update is not fault tolerant at all at the point of installation, so the first step is to ensure that the recipient computer is clean.. A well respected MVP colleague, Jupiter Jones, has produced a really good website that will take you through the process of readying your computer, the install of SP2, and the finalization.. http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm You might also want to take a look here too.. MS provide much information on SP2 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../winxpsp2.mspx I hope that it goes well for you.. I have used Jupiter's guidelines myself when installing SP2 on my own machines and for other people that I directly support.. so far, I have had no problems at all.. -- Mike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/user "Paul Perera" wrote in message ...
