You are talking about auto update while idlewild is downloading the file thru p2p and then updating itNikhil said:Another thing...... downloading SP2 through the net could be harmful..... it happened to me.... I had d/led abt 2 or 3% and then the power went and my comp got switched off. And it never started again. Turns out the display driver had got corruipted. Don't ask how. I had to reformat my HDD, reinstall XP and everything....
And at that time the computer guys who came home told me that it was a very common problem with SP2. You should not restart your comp when you are d/ling SP2. or something like that......
Best thing is to get an SP2 CD and install it from there...... It may cost you a little bit more bu t in the end will save you a lot of headache.....
mehargags said:im not trying to scare u ..but since u appear to be unfamiliar with Service pack implimentations just wanna tell u that installing SP2 over an Existing install of XP does break many applications,norton & nero are the First to mention if ur using older than oct' 2004 versions.
It can break ur network if ur into one.
I'd really recommend u download sp2 from M$ site Strictly & then integrate/Slipstream it into ur XP setup & the have a Clean install of XPsp2. Also upgrade all ur common appz to the latst versions to suffice maximum compatibility. XP with sp2 is damn stable & fast with better memory management & security issues have been just Overhauled to a never before M$ standards......
just download & get ready with the SP2-- then u can google fro slip stream or just let ur know -- its an easy step..
