Am currently installing Windows XP Service Pack 2
on my portable machine. I’m hoping the installation doesn’t screw
up my system. It’s always best to install SP2 over a fresh
installation of XP, since some newer drivers or applications may cause
some conflicts. But in this case, I’ll try to get it working on
my existing installation first. If that fails, then it’s
reinstall time for me.
If you’re not too well-versed with manually instituting security
measures on your machine (such as spyware blockers, antivirus and
firewalls), then SP2 is definitely a must-have. You can either
turn on automatic updates (but downloading patches via a slow connection takes forever), download the 270+ MB installer, or have someone with the installer burn a disc for you.
Need one? Drop me a line!
