Anyone Upgrading XP to Service2? I'm not Heard it Messes up Nero Software & much more
Has any upgraded or planning to upgrade their Windows XP software to Service Pack 2? I was planning too, in fact my computer was set to automatic update, when I read that this upgrade may screw up a bunch of your programs/applications such as Nero DVD Software, Norton AntiVirus and many more. So I turned the update feature off and won't be
downloading this stuff until they get rid of all the kinks. I don't know how they can be putting this stuff out when its doing more harm than good?
Definately recommend you to check out bugs first
I think Mircrosoft has a full list of the programs/applications being affected and there are many. It was posted on Yahoo yesterday. I've had my microsoft update page set to automatic till I found out about this yesterday, thank God I caught this in time. If you have moderate compouter knowledge and use DVD copying software, use Nortons AntiVirus (sadly I admit I'm back on this), etc., I wouldn't download this update.
If you're an "Online Gamer" do NOT load SP-2
There's a list a mile long of online games you'll NOT be able to play because of SP-2's "new and improved" firewall. Man what a mess this is. CNET even suggested as long as a 2 weeks ago that folks should "wait till Microsoft fixes the bugs in the 'fixes'". That was good enough warning for me to stay away.
