Does Microsoft Wins Xp Home Edition Service Pack Two cause alot of probs?mcaffee

YES. That is why many gamers have "dumped" it and gone back to 98SE. This is REALLY a problem if you have an Intell CPU. An AMD helps due the way it handles "floating point math". If you are only Web browsing rather than Internet surfing (alt's, bbs's, ftp's, news nets and use groups) then it isn't all that bad. Off line it just sucks.

Great big after thought cause I don't mean to mislead you. No on SP2 as re above, but again a big fat YES on XPhome as an operating system. MS knows it. That is why they will scrap it same as ME soon as they get LONGHORN , now Vista to work. Should be out this fall. The pro ver. is out now.
Service packs don't cause problems, they fix'em. In this case service pack 2 is installed for better security.
The first time that I tried to obtain SP-2, I tried downloading from Microsoft and it caused my computer to freeze or lock up. I was able to get it restarted and removed it from the computer via the control panel. Then I requested a disk from Microsoft for SP-2 and have found no problems with installation or using my machine since then. My recommendation is to get the disk from M/S and follow their instructions on installation and you should not have a problem.
It has some hardware compatibility problem,

but it is very rare. I installed SP2 on my desktop and laptop works just fine.

thanks

It has alot of security patches. Overall improvement.
Microsoft service pack 2 does wine its downloaded on to your computer but if u buy the up grade CD labeled Microsoft windows home edition with service pack 2 and reinstall the computer with the CD it works that's how i upgrade all my computers and my Friends and family's
