In a last-ditch effort to repair some broken sys files, along with cmd (never realized how much I used that), netstat, and ping, I'm upgrading to SP2.
EDIT -
In short, good bye.
Yay! No more Joe!
Err, why not install another OS? FreeBSD? Slackware? Anything? =P
Haha.
Newby, send me slackware CDs and a hardware modem (as opposed to a winmodem) and I will gladly switch to slackware the very SECOND it gets here.
On a side note, it didn't fix a damn thing.
SP2 isn't horrible. I find nothing wrong with it... that is ... I never used XP before SP2 ;P
I'm not a big fan of SP2, since it's more annoying, but I like installing it on my family's computers. It's good for dumb people because I don't have to continually look after them.
I was installing XP SP2 today, then realized I didn't have a CDKey.
So, hello from slackware. :P
I'm not a fan of Windows in general. I use Windows once every like 6 days to play games on weekends except on my laptop to print. I'm too lazy to setup CUPS ;P!

I don't know how, but since upgrading to SP2 it has figured out that I don't want to be bothered with messages like "You don't have a virus scanner installed." I guess it just stops being annoying or I find a way to make it un-annoying. *shrug*
Incidentally Joe, you should know that patching something with such serious defects likely wouldn't have made your defects go away. :P

That's all in the XP Security Panel. You can just select the option "I'll control my own Anti-Virus" or something along those lines, same with firewall, and then it doesn't bother you.
