I did once, on recommendation of Windows Update. All of a sudden my computer would hang up on power off. It would not shut down or reboot but rather just sat there lost in la la land.

The solution?

I contacted HP who said that on their website they advise NOT installing SP2 but if you must then you need to install a whole slew of drivers first. I ended having to order system disks from them and had to reinstall Windows XP/SP1. The computer was barely two months old and I lost all the data on it...

MS sucks.

Well, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one shunning SP2 like grim death. I had installed it once based on the constant NAGGING of Windows to do so, and regretted it immediately. I uninstalled the package and will never look back. Hello, Zone Alarm and Avast!
