Hi

Can anybody tell me how to keep on receiving the xp automatic updates
without install SP2 ?
Almost everybody I know had software problems, some serious ones after SP2
installation, and I don't think I need it right now. So, how can I manage to
do that ?
Thankx
Dulce

Almost everyone you know?? 1 or 2 maybe? Of more than 60,000,000 home
computers just in the U.S. just how many do you think had a problem?

If you can't follow the links that were already provided to the data then
you have much bigger problems to deal with.

His website is useless, but there are still valid issues with SP2.

Heck, there were valid issues with Windows even before SP 2. Most of the SP
2-related problems I have seen in this newsgroup were self-inflicted or
avoidable.

His data surely doesn't match that of PCWorld.
