|-A-A-D-| Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I have heard a lot of rumours that sp2 has a lot of bugs in it and programs wont work right under Service pack 2. so my question is Would you install Service Pack 2??
mtanoob Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Assuming u mean windows xp sp2, i have already installed it & have no probs at all.
MAD_BOY Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 my dad installed it, i hate him anyway, not much probs
goretex Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 maybe id would install it if i knew more about what it did? i have SP1 installed, is it wise IYO to install it?
Scar Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 One turn off: The new windows update, it stops the writing in the MTA client from being; Pink/Purple (/me, /slap), yellow (admin), and brown (ingame), it is all black. Anybody know why?
Guest Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I installed it, works ok, problem is my pc isnt' 'stable' anyway with or without it. Whatever you do DO NOT install it on a pc full of programmes and apps. Only ever install it with a fresh version of windows i.e reformat etc. My dad tried the above 'update' style installation it pretty much screwed his pc. I had to save him
Mike Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I installed it and it's fine. It blocks a lot of programs, but gives a popup when you open them and asks if you want to keep blocking it.
orappa Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I installed it on a PC with loads of apps with no problems at all. I also installed it on 2 other PCs with no problems either. Also, what is the point in having an option of "No" and an option of "I think not"? Surely they're exactly the same?
TmM-kane Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I am not going to bother.My service pack 1 works fine and all sp2 offers is a firewall and pop up blocker.I am not risking it.What is the point when my pc is fine?As they say if its not broke dont fix it.My bro installed it and had to reformat cus it fucked up but now he has it back on and everything is fine so i dont want to risk a format.Its too much fucking around especially with the amount of shit i got on my pc

I think it does a lot more than just the firewall and popup blocker...
NosGoth Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 I'm not gonna install it, because I have Linux. (On my other comp. lol) But I'm not installing it on my XP-machine either.

goretex Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 meh i decided to say: service pack 2. I have 1 and it is fine. I already have a firewall that does its job fantasically (that even a werd?lol) so screw dat shiat.

TmM_Ryan Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 me nad my dad built my sister a lil shuttle, cz shes off @ uni, we put SP2 on it o see wat it was like. pretty much the same only reason we put it was for firewall/anti-virus. . not putting it on this pc for at least a year
|-A-A-D-| Posted September 25, 2004 Author Posted September 25, 2004 i can conclude out of this almost no one installs sp2 i think i wont install it to because i got an illegal copy of windows xp and it will screw it up like last time when i had to buy a new harddrive because it was damaged by service pack 1 i now have service pack one installed and no problems but i dont know what happends when i install version 2
dustcrazy2003 Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 i'm not going to b/c the only main thing that it does is better secutery . i'm behind a firewall and all that stuff, so i don't need it.
orappa Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 i can conclude out of this almost no one installs sp2 Hmm... interesting conclusion considering the results above.
janipewter Posted September 25, 2004 Posted September 25, 2004 Would you install Service Pack 2?? already have.
|-A-A-D-| Posted September 26, 2004 Author Posted September 26, 2004 hehe im waiting till all the bugs are removed out of SP2 hehe im waiting till all the bugs are removed out of SP2
sculay Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 im having alot of prbos with it cos it blocks most of my games e.g COD i try join a game it says connecting then dissconecting
Mike Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 when it blocks a program, it should just have a popup asking whether you want to keep blocking the program.
orappa Posted September 26, 2004 Posted September 26, 2004 im having alot of prbos with it cos it blocks most of my games e.g COD i try join a game it says connecting then dissconecting Yeah, I found that. Often what happens is that it comes up with a popup, but the popup is in the background so that you have to alt+tab in order to click it. Or you can just switch the firewall off.
TmM-kane Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 I didnt want to put it on but i did and everything is fine
