My daughter moved back on campus last weekend prompting me to "hardeen" her computer by attempting to install SP2. I started by putting my home computer to the test. It seemed to work (more below) so I applied the patch to her system. Her system gave an immediate Blue Screen of Death on attempting to reboot. After HOURS of srewing around thru the recovery console, I finally was able to use the original XP disc to "repair" the system into some sort of bastardized no-mans-land somewhere between SP1 & SP2 that runs like I poured Elmer's glue into the HD. But at least she's somewhat up and running until I can do a complete disc wipe and reinstall over a weekend. Did I mention her printer doesn't work?
After I got home from a 14 hour work day yesterday, I find my son has left Linux to boot XP to work in Excel. Fine and dandy until I hear, "Why won't this print?" Two hours later I still couldn't tell him... Now I'm regretting telling someone I had 50% success in patching to SP2...
I attended a MS seminar and they gave out the SP2 discs.
After installing on my laptop my wireless connection did not work. Had to revert to SP1 to correct.
