Service Pack 2 and PC Games

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games.discussion (More info?)

Hi Host,

Everyone except for a slim few haven't had problems with SP2.

The service pack was tested, even with games, to hunt down
and squash any bugs that were found.

A lot of those who are having problems are running systems
which have outdated BIOS drivers / Chipset drivers, have
overclocked their systems, are using cracked game software,
or have malware installed on their systems causing those issues.

| Unlike everyone else, I don't want to complain that it won't work for me,
