SP1 or SP2 ?
I'm so confused!
In the "add or remove" program window, I wanted to check to see which (SP)I had. I know my computer came with SP1. My question is , it shows SP1 at the bottom of the list but it also shows XP Hotfix (SP2). Which one do I have? And can I delete SP1? Or did I totally mess-up by adding the (SP2) Hotfixes, because I don't even have (SP2), I have (SP1)?? |

SP1 or SP2 ?
Hi lnocee,
You will have Service Pack 1 installed, the XP Hotfix (SP2) entries are individual patches that will also be included in Service Pack 2. However SP2 is not due for release until the end of year . You've not messed anything up, at the moment that is how it should look, once you install Service Pack 2 (when it is available) those hotfix entries will be removed automatically. I would recommend not to remove Service Pack 1 or any of the hotfixes. Hope that helps -- Mark Salloway MS-MVP Windows XP [AE-Windows® XP] http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone http://www.mvps.org/marksxp "lnocee" inocee42@aoles wrote in message ...

SP2 is not released yet.
Those hotfixes will be incorporated in SP2 when it is released.

The hotfixes that will be contained in SP2 will show up in add/remove as
SP2. You do not have SP2 as you stated as it isn't scheduled to be released till 4th quarter this year. Do NOT delete any of the fixes. ale "lnocee" inocee42@aoles wrote in message ...
