Service Pack Installation Checklist

Before installing XP SP2 one should go over this checklist to
provide the "best" environment for a smooth installation :

XP SP2 is NOT a "magic bullet" that will solve OS issues that you
currently have. It is not a "miracle cure".
If there is spy | ad | malware on the system it will be doubly
difficult to remove them.

I used this checklist last night to finally upgrade to SP2, using the
network administrator's full download. The install went flawlessly and
everything seems to be running smoothly. I like the security control center
quite a bit. It spotted AVG immediately and indicated it's up to date.

As an aside, I'd bet a dollar against a donut that the machine (a single AMD
2000 XP on a Soltek motherboard in a home network of four computers) is
running faster. Everything seems to "snap" more quickly. I'm truly
impressed! Use the checklist! It'll help you avoid problems!
