AuNuma1 1 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 It shouldn't be a problem Titan. I read where you're more likely to have problems if you don't upgrade because of certain security holes. Application specific problems are minimal by now I'd think.

Streyeder 0 Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 I've installed it on 10+computers, all with drastically different hardware and software and have had zero proplems. I'd say you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,499 Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 Well, I upgraded last night and it appears that everything is in good shape. Nice that IE finally got popup blockers and better cookie handling. Firefox still seems snappier, at least on this machine. I'll have to play more with it. Thanks for the advice.

BamaGrad03 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 SP2 is actually a really good thing. A lot of people are scared of the automatic updates, but the firewall does an excellent job. There is a way to slipstream SP2 into a CD so you dont have to download it everytime you do a new install or an update...but I havent tried it yet. Also, youll probably want to tell it that youll monitor virus protection yourself...just so that thing in your system tray will leave you alone...just click on reccomendations in the popup that it gives you and tell it youll do it yourself.

Streyeder 0 Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 BG, you did hit on one good point. I've only had it recognize I had NAV instaled once. Not really a problem, just tell it you'll monitor it yourself and it's good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
