No problems at all. Just installed it and went right back to what I was doing, which, if I recall, involved looking for pictures of women. For research. Academic, intellectual, serious, important, research. Involving women.

I did it and not sure how it happened but it set my processor speed to 1.8 gig instead of the 2.4 it is supposed to be and I noticed the slow down about a few days after doing the upgrade but I went into my bios and fixed the problem now my computer is working like it is supposed to be.

I avoid issues like this by sticking with 2k...the stablest Microsoft OS ever.

I managed to skip 2000 - went from 98 to XP. Maybe MS is finally learning how to make a decent product. Windows386 sure sucked.

I really like 2k. It's got most of the good features of XP without all the crap you get with XP.

I'm a total noob. Got this comp a year ago, XP is the only OS I've ever known. I was a total blank slate when I started, and now..........still pretty blank, but I'm learning a little. Only thing is, I think a lot of people learned a lot of stuff from fixing junk when it broke, out of necessity, like, and I haven't had to do any of that, really.

Maybe I shouldn't mention that my first 2 computer science classes were on punch cards. Or that my first computer had a 40 meg hard drive - that's MEG, not gig.

If you have Alcohol 120 or Daemon Tools dont install SP2.
you will end up having to format and reinstall everything.
someone posted this in nova, and saw the microsoft link.
i use win2k also
