Here, Microsoft Window's XP home edition is running on a Hewlet Packard
something or other. It came installed on this computer. I do not have any
original disks and was not asked to provide one during the installation of
the SP2. Your results may vary.
I would check out Microsoft's website for problems installing the SP2 if you
suspect there is anything out of the ordinary with the edition of your
operating system. I would check out this website for information only if my
day was already as bad as I could possibly imagine, but sometimes you have
no choice. it is rumored that lots of people had trouble upgrading. For my
own part, after the computer rebooted itself, it took like 45 excruciating
minutes to reorganize it's insides before the new version came up and then I
had to pretend it was an initial installation and set up everything all over
again, from the log on screen to the pop-up blocker, passwords and firewall,
etc. All the installed software, like my email and newsgroup readers were
not affected outwardly by the upgrade. I take that back, the explorer
browser had to be configured for "privacy concerns" We have just reached
the limit of my computer knowledge. Goodnight....and happy orchid growing.
Oh yes, and back up everything important first.

Ray and Al,
When you updated to SP2, was the original XP cd required?

Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but what's wrong with IE and
OE?
IE has a popup blocker that's quite effective, and I have all sorts
of mail rules set up that block the vast majority of spam in OE.
Am I missing something THAT significantly different?
*I* must be missing something. Which IE has a popup blocker??? The
Google toolbar blocked mine, but IE??
But I don't even have to go through the hassle of setting up rules
with Thunderbird.
