Not installing any service packs leaves you open to a whole lot of vulnerabilities and bugs. Hell, you can't even use Windows Update without any service packs. How exactly are they evil anyway? I was wary about installing SP2 for several months, but did just over 24 hours ago, and I'm glad I did.

Windows XP Home, SP 1a on my laptop, Windows XP Home SP2 on one of the desktops, and XP Home SP 1a on the other.

I would have to agree with "Lady SnowMan??" LoL
Service packs are Evil! and I do not care for the fact that MS now requires you to have "Automatic Updates" turned on to update the SP you have.. I have SP1 installed..I will not install SP2 until I stop seeing all the issues people are having with it.
I have installed updates that have totally "Jacked" my machine so I am *very choosy about which ones I do install and I do them 1 at a time..

Zero.

You can "turn off" the automatic updates.

YuP, you can Island, and I most definitely do, but..to do the updates, until you turn the "Automatic" feature "On" Windows Update will not allow you to update windows..just a slight bothersome little MS deal..turn them on, turn them off, turn them on, turn them off..::laughs:: makes little sense actually..but I fear that in future OS's the "Off" option wont be an option..

Ah well,
Zero.

well, it should be an option. otherwise, that OS is gonna face a downfall. 'cause if its missing that, its probably missing more than that.

Both computers are running Windows XP SP2, My home built system doesn't seem to have a whole lot of issues with SP2, but there might be a couple that I still need to see if SP2 is the problem.

I also have Win98 on my home built computer as a multi-boot. (So I can play some of those old games )

Soon, I'll have SUSE 9.2 Pro on my server.

cant u play those old game on XP??? i can as far as i can tell, and ive played lots of games.

Reply #23 March 18, 2005 2:26 PM from WinCustomize Forums Top

The games I'm talking about would be like 11th Hour, 7th Guest, games like that.

It has these blue, no black, no ...........um, kinda gold and silver frames with round and square things that react when I move the little arrow over them.

Windows(blinded)XP w/ SP2, nothing hacked so I can continue on my learning path towards an administrative level of understanding of the OS - about 2 or 3 years away (gotta know the registry, MMC console, and all the network goodies - Oh, yeah - and how to skin! I better add a couple more years to the mix).

XP SP2, OSX Panther (soon to be Tiger yay) and VLOS Linux on Virtual PC.
