Somebody please tell me - in the webpage http://www.muonline.com/ under Dowload > Graphic Driver there's something called VIA Service Pack. Is this what you're all talking about?

I'm asking because my computer became slower and more bugged after I installed it.

No, they are talking about the new update to Windows XP.

Same here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think Ill wait, another funny thing is that you are able to install it to a Pirated copy of windows, which was supposedly impossible with service pack 1.

I think I'll have some fun installing this, and counting the bad points.

After doing a fair bit of research, I downloaded and installed it yesterday, and everything is running quite smoothly. The PC takes a little longer to boot now, but that's okay.

I like the itegrated firewall that's active immediately upon boot without the wait for a third party one to load. Even though it's only a couple of seconds, it's still a couple of seconds that your PC is vulnerable.

So far, no software problems. Overall it looks very positive, and if I do have problems SP2 can always be removed from the Add/Remove Programs app in the Control Panel.

Well, I'm off to test some more apps. I'll keep everyone posted if I encounter any problems. [img]smile.gif[/img]
