I wish i had you're luck bigc.

A long time a go i tried to download and install WMP 9. It totally screwed up my system.

Reformatted and stuck with WMP 8 and as far as SP2 well, i may never install that thing.

System's running good now so.....

Hi guys :)

I just have a quick question in regards to SP2. I still haven't installed SP2, since I'm still not sure about. I probably won't have any problems, but in the event that I do have problems, it would be impossible to uninstall it and go back to before the service pack was installed? I mean, since SP2 overwrites SP1? Until I get my system restore to actually work(it never does), I'm a little paranoid that I would have to start from scratch if there were any problems with SP2.

Anyway, thanx a bunch for your input ;D

to mismis29 buy goback i belive norton owens it

its perty damn easy to use lol

about the only thing you have to read up on is how to make a goback date return set point

basicly like system restore for windows in that you set a specfic date to go back to

but other then that goback usealy gives you a 2 to 3 day pariod automaticly meaning you screw up now you can go back 2 to 3 days you installed goback
