"Windows XP Service Pack 2"

Worth downloading?

I'm kinda half way through, but yeah. No doubt it'll f*f**k up my system, but yeah...

Also, on a side note, looking for a worthy replacement to Windows MP 10 and RealPlayer Basic 10.

Any ideas?

Quintessential Player - someone recommended it on here and I downloaded it to try. It's very useful cos it can do a CDDB query through the Uni firewall. You can get a plug-in thingy to let it play RealPlayer files as well.

Service Pack 2 is worth installing, It has a firewall, pop up blocker and some other nice bits and pieces. If you don't want to download it you can order a free cd with it on from microsoft's web site.

Media Player 10 is basically the same as 9 when it's fully updated, has the option to rip CDs into MP3 format which is nice.

Eeeew MP3s....

AAC all the way!

Alot of people have complained about service pack 2 messing up games but i have never had a problem with it. Even freedom force works on my computer still and thats almost unheard of. i haven't really noticed anything good about it but i just update whenever something is released. I don't use firewalls or pop-up blockers.

iTunes for music, WMP/WinAmp for Videos.

Hmm, I reckons I'll be sticking with iTunes for music and RealOne Player Basic for vids.

Just too used to it...

Yeah, I got SP2 the other day, and it's not bad. Few improvements that actually save me time, which is good - and I've not had any problems (yet).
