My experience with SP2 on XP Pro was so negative that I have un-installed
it.  It blocked my access to my online banking, and no adjustments would
correct the problem.  I have been computing for over 10 years, so I do know
what I am doing, and even tech support could not supply an answer.  After
un-installing SP2, all was well again.

When I purchased Jaws for my hubby recently, Scientific Freedom told me that
his computer running Win 98 SE needed the Standard version, while XP would
require the more expensive version.
