Jupiter Jones may be correct but if your using AMD processor then SP2 is the
worst update Micrsosft have ever created, it will make comp unstable, resets
on boot ups and firewall blocks some programs and then resetting once you
allow the ports so will never continually allow, i think xp is great but if
AMD users install sp2 there in for a tough time i suggest format and install
sp1a and use a 3rd party firewall, spyware and anti virus because these are
the only real benefits you will get from SP2
