Do a clean install
Turn OFF updates (if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
Make sure install disk is a SP2 edition (installing XP then installing SP2 over it always causes trouble)
If you have a specific problem then get the update manually (search knowledge base for info)
Do all my customers machines this way, never any problems (mmmm...bad for business???) maybe I should install updates so they call me more.

Trash Windoze and install Linux.... Linux is like Viagra, it keeps it up and won't let down.
Never have to worry about Premature Blue screening again.

Will Windows install from sp2 downloaded from the web - I have it on a seperate disk. I have been through the issue of making a combined boot disk that has SP2 inbedded in it but I don't have the right version of Nero to make a boot disk and I am not paying the $170 to buy it. P38Rover and others gave all the low down on this the other week and went all through it up to the process of making the boot disk but my nero express cannot do it.Quote:
