I am not upgrading until they get this crap fixed. There is no excuse for releasing garbage with that many issues.

I've had problems getting it to install, and based on what my wife was saying they had going on at work, I'll wait until they upgrade their upgrade.

I upgraded on Sunday. No conflict issues, so far.

But, I cannot delete any files in Windows Explorer or off the Quick Launch toolbar. When I try, I get a Dr. Watson and explorer.exe shuts down.

Weird problem, but I have confidence MS support will get me through it.

Funny, I installed the full version of SP2 (267mb) on both my computer at work and my computer at home and neither has had a problem. My work computer runs a bunch of crap that is notorious for crashing after Microsoft updates and so far it was worked fine.

Just discovered I now can't read my camera card reader.

All the USB hubs are stated as functioning normally yet no cigar.

Infuriating, as usual, with MS.

GREEDY, CHEEKY, INSULTING IDIOTS!

No problems here. I had to manually configure it to close down windows firewall and not to monitor my ZoneAlarm firewall or Norton Antivirus, but it put those choices up front for me so they were easy to find. After I did that I've had no trouble.

After reading the comment above, I just deleted an unneeded link from my WinExplorer toolbar, and no problems with that.

I was unable to pick up email from the Compuserve Classic POP3 mail server with Outlook Express while SpamPal was active, so I have turned it off for the moment until I find out what the conflict is. Probably the SpamPal beta needs updating.

Many are reporting that while download/install goes fine, when they re-start PC, WIN XP HOME will not re-start...

Tech friend of mine says "...we are waiting for a solution from Microsoft." Isn't the entire free world?

So far the only glitch I found was, when Windows XP Professional starts the spash screen it doesn't show Professional anymore, it's simply Windows XP.

Anybody else notice this?

I've been using XP SP2 since before the beta release here at work and the only issues I faced were security-vulnerable apps that no longer worked by default due to firewalls, restrictions on access between Internet Zone and Local Machine Zones etc...

This is probably the best SP release MS we have ever made, and the benefits far outweight the few minor issues people may or may not run into...

I upgraded to SP2 a couple days ago, and was mildly surprised to see it actually fix some problems. PC runs a lot faster and better. Then again, I haven't tested all my applications...

I have an installed base of close to 12,000 users, and this very problem has been making my life hell this week.

I upgraded with Service Pac 2, and my computer freaked out. Everything locked up.

I had to use the restore button, and ended up uninstalling the whole upgrade.

What a pain.
