new sp2 update crashed computer! Beware.

I downloaded the windows update sp2 patch, and right
afterwards, it rebooted over and over, claiming an error
with drivers. I tried the "last config that worked" that
wouldn't work either. It simply kept rebooting itself. I
finally had to go into safe mode, and do a system restore.

You may want to warn people about this.

Apparently, you failed to properly prepare your PC
for the installation of SP2. You cannot extend your
logic that if your had a troublesome SP2 installation,
then everyone else will have the same experience. Most
Windows XP users have installed SP2 without incident.
