Posted August 10, 200717 yr You must have the lowest I.Q about Windows XP Service Pack 2 !!! I have used Windows XP SP1 and it was absolute !&@^!(@ !!! Used Service Pack 2, and I stopped receiving 'Messenger Spam', I get more security updates and more compatibility with programs, and it comes with a FREE and LOW MAINTANENCE firewall! We all know what Windows and Microsoft Update is for - too bad you can't pick up most of our logic - At least you understand SOME! You completly stuffed up on installation. I stop AVG scanning my system. Everything worked. ------------------------ Get to Microsoft.com and reinstall Windows XP SP2. And please remember to quit ALL programs using the hard drive. ------------------------ I recommend everyone to update their computers using Microsoft Update. http://www.windowsupdate.com Mozilla Firefox Users: http://www.windizupdate.com -- Microdumb - The REAL Microsoft!
