upgradeing may not always be the best

well i upgraded the hell out of every application every security application every driver patch etc etc

may not be good ideal lol

my pc has change so much by how it acts and what it does even my welcome screen

and security apps dont seem to be working the way they should

my advice keep sp1 no sp2

keep windows media player 9 only upgrade norton or update securty applications data base but not new verstion if you can avoid it lol

to late for me save yourselfs

 

im with you on this one Blaze. they should rename SP2-HJ2(heap of junk too)

 

I have sp2 and media player 10 and every thing is running just fine.

 

well im very jealous. with me i cant work out if ive been infected with something or SP2 has caused all my problems. whichever, im now going to learn about partitioning my HD, sandboxes and making backups

 

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

which you could look at, maybe try it for abit to see how it goes

 

yup it kicks but

its like thet thought of me when they made it lol

 

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

 

LOL
God, Blaze I love your refreshing straight-forward approach!
Why make things so complicated:

Push a button and...
Get the job done!!!

cheers to ya
