I recently installed Windows XP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe from Softpedia for my
home computer which has XP Professional (Released to Manufacturers). Now the
Windows release materials tell me to incrementally load it using my
auto-updates. Is there anything wrong with the way I loaded it?

It's not a good idea to download the SP from a non-
microsoft source. I got the network install yesterday and
in installed flawlessly on my XP Pro machine. I'm in the
process of passing the disk on to my poor buddies on dial-
up.

Anyhow...see if you can restore your computer and install
the proper service pack from MS. If you're really itchen
to get it...download the network install, but be sure to
pass the disk around to as many people as you can. Do not
keep it for yourself.

At least you didn't download it off Kazaa! I can't
believe there are people who actually did that!

Cheers

The original is buggy enough. I had it installed for maybe half an hour before
it totally screwed up everything ATI.
This was just last week. You can't tell me they've now released that buggy
thing as an actual release ?

They haven't fixed the ATI bugs from SP1 yet.

Just because something doesn't work for you doesn't mean there is a bug.
It's up to ATI to make their drivers work with the OS not the other way
around. (I haven't heard of any particular ATI problem though.)
