Sorry - it was me not being clear - I meant what problems did you have with sp2? I'm curious as the more problems people report I look for them on my test installation.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

I got an error on startup. Can't remember what it was and i haven't got a screenshot. So what ill do is do a restore in Safe mode and do a reinstall of SP2 tonight.

just playing with the pop up blocker , very effective :tu:

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

Well the safe mode syst restore didn't work.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

looks like oh oh time , can you give us an exact error message when you boot up ??????????????

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

Nope :(

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

why not , is there nothing to tell or what , is it an error message you get or what , if need be get a few ppl around the pc so at least one person can catch it all :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

Can't remember and i didn't note it down sorry. System restore has been like it for ages. *knew i shouldn't have installed it*

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

so it dont appear everytime you boot then ?????????? , as for not installing it , i appear to be suffering no ill effects whatsoever , in fact my system appears to be faster at booting if anything :)

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

Well after many attepts I still cant stop the "critical stop" sound on start up. Must be a driver or service not starting up but I cant see which one. Ive had driver problems in the past that have nearly trashed my system so i didnt want to take any risks.

Uninstalled SP2 from Add/Remove programs, then for good measure done a system restore to a point just before I installed SP2.

All is working perfectly as before. I think I will wait for the final release before I try again.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

I think I'll wait for the final release, as it seems it's okay for some and not for others.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

Im left facing a reformat cos my system runs like a dog.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

A greyhound can run fast you know! ;)

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

A slow dog then :D:p:;)

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2
 

I ghosted mine back as there was a problem with NAV using live update with it, I think I'll wait until it cones out officially before I try again :(
