I just started downloading it. Says it will take about 8min to download. As soon as I have it installed I will report back on how well it runs.

I agree the new Firewall is pretty cool. Seems to be a lot like Zone Alarm and I like the built in Pop Up Stopper

Same here, windows update throws an error! I also can't get my StylesXP to work. Also, the default Luna theme doesn't work either!
I'm reverting back to SP1 from system restore. Going to wait until every bug is ironed out before i install again.

Style is a 3rd party app that lets you tweak the looks of XP.
As for the pop up blocker, once you install SP2 just go to the top of the browser and click on tools. Pop Up Blocker Settings is the first option.

You have to enable the SP2 update for windows update to work...took me a little bit to figure that one out...just disable it after you have updated...
I went ahead and installed SP2 (as you can tell)...must say...am suprised with it...seems to be just the opposite that I had read about on [H]...it did not reset my security settings and I have full control on turning ANY serivce off...including the built in firewall...and the pop up blocker is not half bad...even block M$ own block ups...
Have noticed that my system seems to be running faster and my memory and CPU bandwidth did increase in Si Sandra...no changes in the BIOS from SP1 to SP2...

Sp1 is required to run SP2,
No problems with any software thus far or windows update using SP2
Firefox works fine, and is still my main Browser. though the popup block and IEspell make IE a formitable cometitor for Firefox, and I may switch back if firefox does not get a working spell checker in the near future.
