Hi thanks for your message

Preparing for sp2 well what coud we do we just did what 99% of people do
download updates we are like 99% of people not a computer expert and we are
getting fed up of all the names meanaings and all the problems it really is
spoiling peoples fun on the net all these spyware add ware adverts virus and
massive of junk spam and watever !

as for getting this and that well we have anti virus reccomoned from a
windows update link we have privacy protection downloaded recommoned from
our broadband and we downloaded spy sweeper so what more do we need to have a
safe enjoying working time on the net ?

we are fed up of coming on line everyday to expenrince another problem why
carnt things just work like they used too it beggers believe that people sell
things that are full of faults !

as for preparing sp2 I did not know there was anything to prepare only
download it !

Please wlll people who sell make or update things do so in plain English and
ayone who sends virus and spyware programmes delibtrate shud be sent to a
prison for life we will never by anything that we get from a pop up and some
of these big companys shud be ashamed when we go into our add and remove
programmes we see all these names of things that are on our pc we have no
idea what some are or what they do , do we need them shud we delete them
this is a dilema in its self !

We are thinking of getting rid of our pc now and just going to a net cafe
let them have the problem comes into my head !

As for this service pack 2 being such a great thing mm well seeing all the
messages on here really reasures us of yet again !

we might like another person on here go and get a apple machine !

We are far from impressed of the daily battle of trying to live and be in a
21st tecnolgy world it really is time people just stopped and lived wtih who
and what they have just for a few minuties as we do not know who we are now
and we have friends who like us have no idea of what is next !

Thanks to whoever we now are not able to play our music view our pictures go
and see things on internet explorer as it sticks and frezzes after 10 minutes
 so menaing we have to reload ! oh and windows explorer mm well that
sometimes decides to open if we keep trying to connect !

well enough of us winging I am going for a lie down and the other half is
going to read a novel that has been lieing around for 3 years !

we are thinking of completly removing sp2 and everything else and just use
this pc for games and writing articles now we have spent a fortune getting
this pc all the bits webcam new mouse keyboard books etc etc and all for
what mmmm I beg the question we most prob will be winged at now for writing a
few lines on here but you know what you can just go and service pack 2 that
!!
