Re: Merged: Windows XP SP2 - discuss it here!

I'm having real trouble with my APC power-chute software!!! :mad: It keeps using HUGE amounts of virtual memory, if I leave my PC on overnight it just crashes it. I've even done a clean install of XP and it still does it.

I can't find anything about it on the net, I guess I'll just have to wait for a new version to be released :(

Wise move. I said that SP2 would be more trouble than it's worth, but oh no - no one agreed with me. Now look. You'll get no sympathy from me :no:

Critical Update for Windows XP (KB885626)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

Quote:

This non-security critical update helps resolve an issue where a limited number of systems running a BIOS without production support for Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Celeron D processors based on Prescott C-0 stepping can potentially hang on Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation. After you install this update, you may have to restart your computer.

If implemented properly, SP2 is awesome. By this I mean, I would only recommend SP2 to be slipstreamed and freshly installed with Windows XP tbh.

Have to say that SP2 works far better on a brand new system than an old one. If possible install it brand new slap on SP2 then continue as normal.

Re: Merged: Windows XP SP2 - discuss it here!

The Register's review of XP Home with SP2 is here.

Its conclusion:

SP2 does a lot 'under the hood' so to speak, to make Windows more resistant to exploitation, and this is to be commended. However, it does little to address the fundamentally insecure Windows setup, which pretty well trumps the former accomplishment. A simplified and hardened Windows system will be nicely enhanced by SP2. But the average Windows system will not even be touched by this effort: it remains leaky, almost incomprehensible to its owners, except those served by professional admins.

Windows remains too difficult for the average person to administer, and therefore profoundly unsafe on the internet.
