its a windows update which is going to be a MUST for all PCS its full of security things to stop hackers and the likes but it caused havoc with my PC to the tune of £100

 

If you have a relatively new Pc then yr ok to install but some have encountered problems with it .............namely me

o well mum, at least it just wasn't your PC then eh !

 

Chryst knows how I am gona get SP2 on my PC. Think you better buy me a new PC mother !!

Went on fine for me. Sped things up a bit and went well with my firewall and anti virus software.

Im a complete fool when it comes to pc related jargon

 

Do you have to up date then? if so how?

[Alex]

If your using XP pro or Home, go to Windows Update. Before going ahead, just make sure nothing will stop working when you install SP2.

could I have that in an easy step by step guide please Alex

[Alex]

Click on your "Start" menu, then click on "Control Panel", then on the left hand side of the screen, look for a box called "See Also" then click on "Windows Update".

Thank you Alex, just doing it now. It is taking some time

I downloaded it as suggested, then it popped up about installing etc and to back up system. By the time I read the stuff, it dissapeared

 

so has it installed or will it do it next time I satrt up my pc or should I try it again?
