"Advantages" of SP2
Thank you Microsoft for finnaly showing the real face. Some helpful new
features are presented in SP2 like for example you cannot access the System recovery anymore or Services are prohibited as well. The greatest improvement was done on Help and Support, there is no Help and Support anymore. I could go on and on with this, I know it yould mako no difference because it is not SP2 that is doing this but whatever it yould sound right. So thank you Microsoft again for sleapless night and I will keep you in my mind everyday for the rest of my life. |

"Advantages" of SP2
If you had problems before upgrading you will have those same problems after
the upgrade. Don't expect SP2 to "repair" a failed or faulty system. -- Regards: Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) "I love you Microsoft" I love you wrote in message ...

"Advantages" of SP2
Just a sek, there were no what so ever problems with OS prior to
installation. My point was that, why call something Service Pack when acctually is a Not going to be able to do anything Pack. I understand that Critical Updates are lifesavers but for something that should improve the System acctually brings it down. I am not alone here! Not only that my system was up and running but also it has not been connected to the Web or there were no additions made to the System. Simple restart after installation and than... Instead of defenfing SP2 try to help me! "Richard Urban" wrote: If you had problems before upgrading you will have those same problems after the upgrade.

"Advantages" of SP2
I had the same "issue" with Help and Support. I had set it
on Disabled a long time ago, but, pre-SP2 it didn't prevent the H&S Center from running. After installing SP2, H&S actually started to behave normally (i.e. when it is set on Disabled, it doesn't start). Thank you Microsoft for finnaly showing the real face.

"Advantages" of SP2
That is understandable but H&S is something that I am after here I can live
without it but System Restore or Search or User Account or Services or 10 min. wait on startup or anything else, I do not have control over, I cannot modify. It reports a 1083 or 1086 somethimes 1056 error and that is it. I was able to read Services that are running and there is not a single one that is Disabled except the ones that everyone has disabled.

So thank you Microsoft again for sleapless night and I will keep you in my mind everyday for the rest of my life. Maybe it's just me but I would uninstall SP2 via add/remove. I see no advantage to having it and many many disadvanges. 1) Go Slow With XP's SP2 Many readers are wondering what to do about XP's SP2, which is starting to trickle out in a limited release. But over the next few weeks, just about all XP users will be offered the download in a carefully sequenced rollout designed to prevent the overload of Microsoft's servers. When you're offered SP2, my advice is: Do nothing; wait a bit. SP2 is huge--- so big it's almost a whole new version of XP. Like any new version of any OS, it *will* contain bugs, and it *will* cause trouble on some setups. The more complex and/or nonstandard your setup is, the greater the likelihood of a problem. Plus, there's no "must have right now" element to SP2: Much of SP2 is designed to force uninformed (or just plain lazy!) PC users to use basic security--- to stay current with updates, to use a firewall, etc. (These are the users running the unpatched/unprotected systems that allow most worms/viruses to spread.) But odds are, if you're reading this newsletter, you already know about and are using pretty good security practices, such as good firewall, antivirus and anti-spyware tools, and you're keeping up to date with Critical Updates. If that's the case, you won't gain a lot by rushing into SP2. Instead, wait a bit--- even as much as a month or two--- to let the worst problems with SP2 come to light and be fixed on other user's PCs. Again, as long as you're already using the kinds of security tools and techniques we discuss in this newsletter every week (example: http://www.informationweek.com/840/langa.htm ), there's no need to rush into SP2. I'm not the only one suggesting this "go slow" approach. See, for example these other authors: http://www.scotsnewsletter.com/60.htm http://channelzone.ziffdavis.com/art...1633858,00.asp |
