I have asked this question several times. No one can give me an answer. I It is just MS paranoia if you ask me  ::)

...LOL........Paranoia it WAS for me..........but as I have said elsewhere support for SP1 is to end from next week so I'm afraid that means no more security updates etc for that..........I once said NEVER but there is a saying "NEVER say NEVER" and it has come round to me

 Must say I studied the hints and tips for a couple of hours and also got advice from guys on SimV and I had no problems whatsoever apart from merely disabling the new firewall in favour of the one I am using now............go for it lads ......have no fear...FSX is here......commoner

I had SP2 since it came out, Read the hype of paranoia, got rid of, Got some weird SP1 Virus that was going around, Formatted, put it back on, never had a problem and have had it on all my PCs, and families PCs since! Cheers, Gunny

Well, when I installed SP2 over a year ago, my computer bogged down like crazy...I am still debating with myself to install it or not

Obviously your computer doesn't seem to like SP2. Did you try doing a complete clean out of your system and directly installed SP2 on a fresh computer?

Well, it's an HP computer...I did not receive any Windows CD to do a complete reformat...I would've done one along time ago if I did...This was when I had 512MB RAM...now that I have a GB..should I try again...especially since SP1 support ends on Tuesday

I got SP2 when it was released. A little icon said update avaliable in my taskbar and I pressed it and before I knew it I had SP2. I wasn't happy at the time what with not having the choice, but as I was two lazy to remove it I just went through windows and disabled it's more pushy features and havn't looked back since.

yes it needs SP2 or Vista

Okay, installed SP2 anyway...Forget this post

Yeah..I've been wanting to update my sig for ages now...but I can't

It's quite funny that support for SP1 will end on my 22nd birthday.
