I would say yes it is, and to then install your other updates from Windows
Updates tat are critical/securty too. But before ytou do so, be sure that
all of your apps and hardware has drivers specically for SP2. If all of them
are not avaiable yet, are those apps impostant enough to do without SP2. If
you can get the updates for everything, install them one at a time with
their updates after you installed SP2 and the others I mentioned earlier.
Make a restore point, after each install, to see whether this will work or
not. If after each app install, there is a problem, uninstall it, then
restore your PC to before it. Go from there. Also, while you are at it, be
sure after you reinstall Windows, and SP2, to see if there are updated
chipset drivers for your CPU. If there is one, that would be the first I
would install after SP2 and its subsequent updates.
