Personally, I haven't tried SP2 yet.
Mr B said:Got the file right from MS themselves. No lags on my system at all. And get the file directly from Microsoft.....I've seen a good many who didn't have problems too. And depending on the source of it (other than MS), god only knows what else might be slipped into it.
More than one of us posted md5 signatures that all agreed for the downloaded WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe. It won't be corrupted as it is a self extracting compressed file like a zip file and should be immune from anything forcing it's way in. However if you have spyware aready running on your machine, it could muck up the copying of the files by SP2 update.exe and leave you with a broken system. I shut off all apps except system services before starting the installation. Including almost everything in the system tray except Zone Alarm Pro.c627627 said:WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe digital signature testifies to its authenticity, doesn't it?
