Re: OT: Help With XP
I waited a bit for SP2, I installed it on my sister's laptop first, saw how it worked, then installed it on mine.
It worked OK for a short while, then I lost the ability to connect to the DSL provider. And I had already deleted the roll back point.
*Dumb*
I'd suggest keeping the Last rollback point on your computer a good long time.

Re: OT: Help With XP
Can't you just cancell SP installation from the Control Panel applet? It used to work on my win2k machine. You just had to keep %SystemRoot% directory untouched. Haven't tried xp, though.

That sounds like a very good idea. Everytime there is an operating system update, I am disappointed that it doesn't seem to live up to all of Bill's wonderful promises about its reliability... |

Re: OT: Help With XP
I had no problems at all installing SP2 on two AMD systems.

Re: OT: Help With XP
Both PCs were build by me. The specs for my PC as far as I remember them (I'm not at home...):
1.) Asus motherboard, BIOS from november Last year I think.
2.) The CPU is an Athlon 2200 XP.
3.) Sound BLaster Live Value.
4.) Ricoh CD/CD-RW/DVD-Combo.
5.) Geforce3 with 128 MB
6.) 516 MB RAM
7.) On-Board-LAN
8.) 2 Harddisks
If you need to know more, just ask away. I created an backup of my system HD to the second HD but had no problems.
