I installed the SP2 when it came out. First problem was I lost my ability to
get online with my cable modem. Outlook could not access my mail account and
a few other problems. I immediately uninstalled SP2, but am continually
finding issues with programs as I access them. In fact, most of the issues
seem to be related to firewall issues, which never existed prior to SP2. For
example, I am not able to upgrade NIS to 2005. All the error prompts
indicate a firewall problem. Also, can not boot a game due to "Abnormal
Program Termination" due to problems with Internet access. Very frustrated
because the problems are small and virtually invisible until they pop up. If
I bought XP Pro and installed over my XP home would it completely refresh the
windows XP operating environment, and hopefully fix whatever the SP2 screwed
up?
Sys: 3 GHZ, 1Gig Ram, Radeon 9800 Pro, 250 GB HD Raid Striped, all updates,
drivers, etc, with exception of SP2 for XP.
