Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / October 2006ongoing sp2 nightmares
To all I ask...I have consistantly had problems with sp2 causing brain farts with my system...It has gotten to the point of needing to do a fresh install of win xp sp2 (slipstreamed disc) on a 2nd drive and then one by one adding my programs and games to it until I find out where I get the conflict...Here is where it gets confusing...Since I connect to the net through a router will I lose those settings ? also since my video card drivers are on the computer on the first drive will I have to reinstall those ( as well as all the other drivers ?) Can you drag and drop programs from my first drive onto the 2nd drive rather than reinstall them ??..Need advice on all this PLEASE !!! Running Widows xp sp1a with a lot of sp2 as well P4 2.8 with h/t 2gigs of ddr400 ram Nvidia 7600gs oc 256mg vid card Dell 24" lcd monitor Linksys wrt54g v4 router fastest dsl available in town running 2 sata drives Norton Security 2006 Sunbelt's Counterspy Bill Ps' Winpatrol All latest drivers and updates I appreciate all help you can provide.......................................Drew > To all I ask...I have consistantly had problems with sp2 causing > brain farts with my system...It has gotten to the point of needing [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > I appreciate all help you can > provide.......................................Drew If you install another copy or a fresh copy of Windows XP... You have to reinstall everything else too. I'd be shocked if your "router" has some special settings.

You were configuring the router software to work in your configuration.

Drew Perhaps you should describe your problems providing copies of Error Reports before embarking on a reinstall. You might get a much simpler solution! SignatureHope this helps.
