Did anyone else install the service pack? And if so, did you have any trouble with it? I always have these nightmares of my computer going *poof*  |

Yep, I had to install it to get onto my college network, and had serious issues.
Like, I couldn't open My Computer, or get into files through Windows Explorer or anything.
Basically, I ran all the crud my college required, and as soon as it let me on the net, I uninstalled SP2. And POOF! All the computer issues vanished.

I installed it quite a while ago, and it hasn't given me any real problems. If anything, it made my computer a bit better. All the problems it has now are probably not SP2 related *shrugs*
(Ohmygosh, I haven't been around in foreeeever)

I've had it installed for forever and didn't have a problem with it....although now that I have a new motherboard...this thing has been acting really crappy. Locking up on me several times a day. Maybe I should try uninstalling it...*hums*

The only prob I have is that you can only save files in BMP format when you save them from IE

What about people running AOL 8.0 or lower? I'm sure 9.0 is probably fine, its recent enough. Yeah, I've always had that IE bitmap thing. Particularly when I try to download one of Aylura's chickens *g* But everyone seems to get that, which is why she provides a link to the picture as well as the picture itself. Maybe jpg's are just more prone to the issue than gifs. I think I'll hold off a bit longer before downloading the SP. First of all, it will take 4 hours using my dialup connection. Secondly, I should do a proper backup of all my stuff, after all, that's what I bought the DVD burner for  With a proper backup, going *poof* shouldn't be so bad. The only real thing I'm worried about is the AOL not working with the new security patches they have. Though it would be a pain to have to uninstall the SP, or worse, scrap the whole thing and start over  |

Actually, I meant AOL itself, not just AIM. Its what I use as my ISP.
