Win XP SP2

[shannon.summers]

Has anyone installed the Monster Service Pack? What are your opinions? I feel as if performance on my home system got noticeably sluggish. Anyone else? The IT Division has not approved it yet here at work.......

Hi Shannon

Please note I've *moved* this thread from the Coffee Without CAD Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Why?

Hopefully this thread will generate some good information + I believe the Coffee Without CAD Forum will be spring cleaned once in a while.

Thanks, Mike

I'm waiting for Service Pack 5 before I touch it.

Hi

Yes I've installed Service Pack 2 on my home PC (XP Pro), at the moment I've not got AutoCAD installed on that machine, therefore can't really comment on that side of things.

Have a good one, Mike

I just got an e-mail newsletter from our AutoCAD dealer (CVIS) advising us not to install SP2. They say, "Right now SP2 is only going to get in the way unless you're in between projects and have time to test it out "

Installed SP2 last week. So far no problems with any programs including AutoCAD.

Installed SP2 last week on XP home. 2.8ghz, 512ram, 32mb video ram, ADT 2004. No problems... yet - Priceless. For everything else there's Mastercard.

At work, IT controls EVERYTHING!! No SP2 yet. It'll probably be years before we see it here.

I just downloaded this at home. And my system is noticeably slower!!!!! Not too happy about that. IT installed it here at work a week or two ago and I run AutoCAD 2005. There has been no trouble at all with my workstation here at work.
