Installing Windows XP Service Pac #2 - YES or NO

[dlessnau]

I am thinking about installing the Windows XP Service Pac #2 and am worried that it might cause me some problems.

I would like to hear from anyone who has installed it about if it caused them any Hoster Software problems or not.

I installed 2.219 but it crashed at a show, so I went back to 2.215. Advice from MTU was to install the service pac and then reinstall 2.219.

Before I do, I'd like some input from the trenches.

dlessnau,
I think it's all going to depend on how clean one's system is to begin with. The reason I say that is because I held off installing SP2 because of some negative stuff I'd seen posted, and I'd had no problems with any MTU products.

Seems there were so many conflicting posts anyway, I just bit the bullet and installed it three weeks ago, and am still running just fine, with a noticable reduction in annoying pop-ups, and have all the latest versions of all the MTU products, running just fine.

Some times one has to make their own decisions, and be responsible for the results. No one else can do that for you.

Hope you'll forgive the brief sermon.

I am running sp2 on 3 machines with no problems. I understand there are a few programs that will not run with it, but haven't seen them. I would recommend doing a image backup of your hard drive just in case.

It would save a lot of reloading If there was a problem.

I have nothing else on my laptop except Hoster, so it looks like I'll be OK.

Thanks

The only thing you may have to do is reload a driver or two. I did have a problem with my wireless network likeing the new drivers, so I reloaded the old ones.
