Windows XP Service Pack 2 review

Tuesday 12 September 2006, 9:43 PM

Followed all directions!!!


Removed all spyware, ran aboutbuster, adaware, spybot, every program known to man in safe mode and all files unhidden. I then proceeded 4 times to intall sp2 all BSOD before you get to windows pushing a LOOP reboot. All hardware is top of the line never had 1 crash with sp1. I do suggest to stay away from this if you are computer savvy and know how to protect your stuff. The other computer I did get this working on runs SLUGGISH a very bloated operating system. Stay away from it like it's AIDS.
