Hi list,
Fully agree with Ray here.
I am running Window-eyes 4.5 Pro SP4 on Windows XP Pro and downloaded XP SP2
from the Windows update site without problems. It downloaded, installed
itself and then all just worked. No problems at all.
The extra security it adds, in my view, simply have to be taken advantage of
in these days.
BTW, if you are using Window-eyes, then you must also install SP4 from the
GWMicro web site first.
An addition to another question on this list there is, under SP2, a useful
feature that puts a security app in the system tray so that you can easily
check and change some of the security features.
Regards, John

Justin. Seems a pity to me that you are going to hold back. Contrary to
some comments here, I feel SP2 is going to be essential as part of our
defences. If you can stretch to it I'd recomend Partition Magic, or another
well respected partitioning program which would allow you to resize your C:
partition.

Ah right Ray, so SP2 is ready for XP pro. hmmm.. well, I think I'm gonna
hold back. at least until I get a bigger hard drive and start again with my
system. then, an upgrade on zoomtext. although I may well just install SP2
before getting zoomtext and.. see how I go.
