I ran into a few problems with XP service Pack two, but none were
unsolvable. On balance, the
upgrade was well worth it. I'm still running DxBase 2004 here.
Perhaps I did not do things orderly when installing, but I did have problems
with Norton Antivirus 2003.
The autoupdate function did not work properly following the upgrade. To
solve this, after installing
XP Service Pack 2, I uninstalled and then re-installed NAV 2003 and it is
working great.
In another computer I had strange problems with a video card....Geforce 2
MX400. I put a different card
in their and did not have any more issues. I did not try the MX400 card in
another computer so I can't confirm that
a pre-existing hardware incompatibility was not already there but became
evident with SP2.
I did find that it solved my 802.11b disconnect problem (common with XP as
it turns out) and it seems to boot
faster and shut down faster. What a welcome improvement from the days of
running a fully loaded Windows 2000
system!
If any programs seem to run funny after installing SP2, I'd suggest
un-installing and re-installing the program before uninstalling SP2.
