Pls Rate SP2 over SP1.

my gaud, the improvements over SP1 and over the Orginal is outstanding.

However, i must stress that the only way in my opinion to experience the way the Service Packs were designed, is to install a fresh SLIPSTREAMED version, installing a service pack AFTER finishing an installation of windows tends to give everyone problems, or cause unwanted issues REGUARDLESS of how you do it or what you do it on.

What Judas said.

However, I mostly disabled all the new stuff that came with SP2, so from memory, I honestly can't recall anything different, other than internal security stuff, (and the boot screen ) that's different now that I have SP2.

I haven't upgraded yet, mainly because the first 7 times I tried it, it worked horribly. But now that I have a new XP Pro install I should probably try it again.

lol.....the only reason why i chose sp2 was because all the updates that you need to d/l if you only have sp1 are already in sp2 . All the other services that sp2 comes with, i disable just like i did w/sp1 .
