Re: are you running sp2?

installed on both my pc's and tablet around the 10th - seems to work ok, only issue has been my audidgy 2 but everyone i know who has one has issues regardless of OS/SP
my issue is if watching a film in any media player app and i "mute" the sound in the app then pause the film and then resume the film it will play back full volume.
Other than that sp2 seems fine but i have read some horror stories but i imagine the pc's it cocked up where badley maintained.

Turn on automatic updates, my notebook reported it to me on automatic updates even though it has SP2 RC2 installed.

No, we don't. I'd close this one, but as some folks might find the poll interesting I'm going to merge this discussion into the 'original' sp2 thread shortly.

EDIT .... OK, done. Let's try to keep general discussion of XP in here and avoid multiple threads please.

If any one here has an SiS card and is thinking of updating to SP2, don't bother is all I say, it will lead you to problems.

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

God what a depressing thread. There must be subliminal messages embedded in XP. It's like Night of the Living Dead. You're all supposed to hate MS, and everything it produces is meant be expensive bug ridden rubbish that has to be tolerated because of MS's dominance of the market.
