k it all started when i did a fresh install after a full format or my hdd. first i got that apache virus like 5 times reformating a fresh install everytime. then i finally downloaded sp2 to cd. so then i did another install and right after i installed before i connected to the internet i installed sp2 for cd, mcafee, nvidia mobo drivers, ati catalyst software and then rebooted and got online. after this i had major problems for a week or two. programs were not running right. some wouldnt close even after ending progam in task manager. dvd players wouldnt play videos right. dvd shink would error out and or freeze. rage 3d tweak wouldnt work and had no menus to choose from and so on the list goes.
today i decided to do a fresh install again however i remembered that i have an old xp disk and it doesnt have sp1 on it so i got all the updats including sp1 but not sp2. so now im at a point where everything is installed and running well but im scared to update to sp2 now.
finally my question. does it matter to update system to sp1 before updating to sp2? cuz i had MAJOR problems when i didnt update to sp1 before i updated to sp2.
will running with out sp2 make me an easy target for viruses and or hackers?
