Is there any difference between "Windows Xp Sp2" and "Windows Xp Embedded Sp2". I am not getting Drivers for Windows Xp Sp2.

I have never had a probelm yet with SP2 I just installed it about a month ago and I haven't experienced any problems. All my programs work correctly, emails same, no crashes yet... Guess I was the pick of the bunch to have had a good experience with SP2. If anything it fixed my computer, I was having a wierd startup problem before with XP pro, now SP2 somehow fixed it and I haven't see it happen since. My opinion, install it.

Remeber, if its a computer error, it is always human error(directed towards designers and users).

What type of impact does new software developments such as Service Pack 2 (SP2) have with XHTML?

i install service pack 2 on my PC (winxp pro) it went well, but after it reboot it just freeze like a block of ice.. i think it doesnt like my PC.. i need help install it :s

In installed Service Pak2 1 year ago and my entire computer crashed. It was horrible. I never did it again. Then eveyone kept telling me that I really ought to update the security features that Microsoft had fixed the problem and silly me, I went and updated again. Sure enough, three days later my entire computer went down with the "blue screen of death" and I had to start completely over installing XP and every program my business and personal life used. It took me an entire week to get functioning. I will never do it again.

Now I have a friend with two computers that kepts slowing down until he couldn't do anything. I uninstalled the Service Pack2 on one and low and behold, his computer began functioning. He had his computer set for automatic updates. He has learned now to ignor updates from MIcrosoft until they are proven.

I installed Windows XP Pro SP2 and now my computer won't run full screen applications. Do you know if it is a security issue? or how i can make them work?

I just recently moved to a new apartment, and prior to the move, I was able to hear all sounds on my computer and was able to play and record music. The whole problem is that I can't hear anything on my computer since I moved, and I have unhooked all my cables and re-hooked them. I already had SP2 installed, and my computer was working fine. No problems. I've done everything I can think of except to re-install my Windows XP, and I really don't want to do that. Any suggestions? I want to take some online college courses, but I can't hear anything and don't have a lot of money to spend getting the computer fixed.
