Service Pack 2
« on: February 01, 2007, 10:17:00 am »
I recently re-installed Win XP, and I was wondering if I should really take the time again to reinstall Service Pack 2.  Is it really necessary?

(Right now I'm using SP1)

there are a lot of security fixes with SP2, that, and SP1 is no longer supported I believe.

SP2 is t3h bummer. at least for when you compare it to other MS-software :roll:s025.gif
Install it. Your system will thank you for it :)smile.gif
Just stream the SP2 into the XP cd if you don't want to install it ever again. I did and added all security updates before jan1 cuz I realized a freshly installed windowsXP should never have internet access before applying SP2. Found that out the hard way ^^'

Ah, ok, thanks.  I'll do that. ^_^

How do I stream it onto the CD? (It's the one that came with the computer "For Re-installation of XP")

um, most comps that come with XP are Media Center or SP2 here. Now though, most stuff sells with Vista.
