Re: win xp sp 2 can kiss my a$$

There is always the occasoinal fluke. When i installed XP SP1 at work it screwed my outlook settings but this time SP2 has been ok. Sorry for your pain..i know how annoying a complete reinstall is. One nice thing with XP though is that alot of the time you can do a repair from the CD which works pretty well for most things and you won't loose your registry and such. But sometimes its nice to just get a fresh start anyway. I used to reinstall every 3 months or so just to keep fresh LOL

  ok.
  friday afternoon.
  i have a beer after i get home & notice m$ has a new update.
  i think cool, my system is only 1 1/2 weeks old what harm could it do?

  a little alarm is going off in the back of my head.
  some thing an old friend / server admin told me.
  only on tuesdays, or odd not evens..

  so i install it.
  no netwerk.
  i think ok security.
  yep there is a new firewall.

  dectivate it.
  nothing
  fiddle with every setting i can make.

  so finally i go, i know i will back up to my last save point.
  i had 5.. but non showed up...
  sp2 had kindly deleted them

  then the sp2 unistal was ugly & hosed all my local serve settings...
  so 6 hours latter, and a few beers, wife is in bed & i have a nwly
  formated machine with sp 1
  no firewall & hopefully all my doom3 save points...

  NOW some one tel me what i did wrong...
  and how great sp2 is & why i should use it & how i should set it up....

  =]
