Is there any reason to wait for SP2?
I only have one Win XP Home (SP1) machine, and on
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en it says, " DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download will be available soon on Windows Update...". But, with all this talk, I don't want to wait for SP2. I can stand giving up some disk space, but what does MS mean by "more appropriate"? In other words, can I just install the SP2 MS provides for " IT Professionals and Developers"? -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * *********************

Do it anyway. But, with all this talk, I don't want to wait for SP2. I can stand giving up some disk space, but what does MS mean by "more appropriate"? Less Inet load on their servers. In other words, can I just install the SP2 MS provides for " IT Professionals and Developers"? Do it.

MS is trying to scare the average computer user into turning on Auto Update. And just reading this group shows that Auto Update just confuses the downloading process of SP2. In other words, can I just install the SP2 MS provides for " IT Professionals and Developers"? Yes. -- Peace!

Nehmo,
I downloaded the file you pointed to and have installed it on two home PCs running XP Home with no problems. So, "yes," you can install that file even though it supposedly only for IT professionals.

I doubt you need to disable anything to download the update file. However,
you might want to check out these links: Some programs seem to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=842242 Programs that are known to experience a loss of functionality when they run on a Windows XP Service Pack 2-based computer http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=884130 John "happyjackret" wrote in message ...

Also, if you are running a virtual CD/DVD drive, like Nero ImageDrive, uninstall that before running SP2. And make sure you back up everything, beforehand too. -- Peace!
