These are clips from an Email I got just yesterday from an Email circle I'm a member of. It seems several members of this group have had trouble with it too and this is what some of them found out.

There are issues with SP2 - not only do you need to update your spyware and security/virus programs, but any other program you may not have current updates on. If you do not take the time to go thru your different programs to make sure they are current - it could cost you a lot of down time later on. And if you have an hp computer, there are several hp updates you must do prior to SP2 - go to hp.com - updates/downloads.

I have downloaded the SP2, after going thru this procedure with my hp computer and so are so good. Those who have not had any problems, more han likely had all their updates in.

I installed the service pack on my laptop (HP) with no problems. However the
IT guys said it was important to upgrade any security software you might
have first--there was an upgrade available for my security program and
apparently if you upgraded XP first it would cause problems... (My security
program is called F-Secure)
