Permission? Pfft. Buy it, face the consequences later.

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

Great idea but (to paraphrase the Blues Brothers) .....I'd look pretty stupid eating corn on the cob with no f'kin teeth :erm: :D

Anyhoo.........SP2 went on just fine.......system seems faster now as well. Probably my imagination though. :D

Re: XP sp2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

I have no probs whatsoever. I did with the RC but with the final release of it. No probs at all.

Show her it, tell her it's also ornamental, if that doesn't work, throw her out and buy it to console yourself ;)

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

Yes, but who would feed the kids and cook and clean then? Not to mention the sex........I'm too old to go on the pull these days, besides I'm useless at chatting up women:D

Okso .. buy it, then do the whole Dr. Evil thing when she starts to complain.

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

Just installed it this morning, went on fine & no probs so far, so thanks Ramrod for being my Guinea pig !!! ;)

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

I have installed SP2 and all the updates as they come along. The SP2 upgrade was via a cover disk on a recent copy of a pc magazine,much less tedious than over the net. It worked fine,no probs

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

what I want to know is, does Joint Operations Typhoon Rising work with SP2, when I tried SP2 beforei t didnt work, it just had a black screen and no menus or anything appeared... the intro movie with the choppier didnt even play either... :(

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

Hello,

SP2 has automatically downloaded to my pc but I have not yet installed it. I have also got a cd from Microsoft, will it be better to use the cd or to install the download, and should AVG and ZoneAlarm (free) be disabled during installation.
I would like to install Sp2 but after reading of many problems I have been a bit nervous about doing it, but everyone here seems more positive.

Thanks

Well I'm no expert, but I installed from the auto update with no problems at all, I use pc cillin anti virus & left it running during the installation,.

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

Well, I've also got ZA and AVG free - I yanked the cable out of the back of the CM, turned off both, and did the update. SP2 has its own security centre that recognised both ZA and AVG (when I put the cable back in, of course ;) ) so I reckon I could have just left them running, but it only takes a few minutes to install so why risk it?

Everything is fine so far; Shareaza's a bit slow downloading though I don't know whether it's just the particular files I'm d/l ing or the infamous SP2 half open connection limit ... I'm sure as hell not going to install some dodgy TCP/IP patch to find out .... ! :Yikes:

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

Glad to be of service :D
edit...and really glad it went well for both of us!

Re: XP SP2 Should I or shouldn't I?
 

I installed it last week after putting it off for a while.

I've had no problems what so ever. But i do get a little narked at some of the warnings that appear because of the firewall. Still small price to pay.
