Installing Service Pack 2 (SP2) for users of XP Home or Professional Editions
Microsoft has released SP2 which greatly enhances the basic security features of the Operating System.
Because of the size and possible impact of this update, which is delivered as a download, Milford Solutions recommends the following cautious
approach.
§ Select the computer you are going to upgrade (if you have more than
one)
§ Create a restore point
§ Make sure that you have legal application software available should you
need to re-install
§ Back up the critical data by burning to CD or DVD
§ Ensure that it is free of all threats, adware, spyware and advertising
trojans by running standard detection programs.
§ Create another restore point.
§ Download, install, take a reset when required and check thoroughly to
see if problems are reported or conflicts exist.
(The above advice assumes you have broadband capability. If you connect to the internet through a dial up connection do not download the update and call us for more information on the best
approach)
