Win XP upgrade to SP3 from SP1 question

mwk

Hi all,

I know I'm WAY behind the curve on this, but I have never gotten around to upgrading my XP computer to Service Pack 2. Everything was working just fine and I never really felt the need.

Now, I do need to do the upgrade. I see that I can go directly to SP3, from SP1 which is good. My question is, are there any "gotcha's" with the Verizon DSL software, when I upgrade? I can't find any information here about it. Other than backing up critical files, etc?

I am not using the usb modem, it's an older Ethernet version, I believe it's a Westell.

Thanks!

Hi MWK

Do you absolutely have to upgrade to SP3?

I can't speak for any Verizon software 'gotchas' in upgrading to SP3, but there's a heck of a lot of other problems. Try Googling SP3 and you'll see 'em all.

I'm running SP2 right now, and I think I'm gonna stay right here untill I'm sure MS has ironed all the kinks out of the newest service pack.
