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'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 .... !
