True...digging a bit deeper on the Windows Technology Preview site for SP2...I found a line basically saying dont install on Media Center Edition.  Yet in the install notes, it has Media Center Edition listed as a "Supported System".

Microsoft

That means that i should not install SP2 on my HP laptop?

That menas: do not install anything before v1.0 or you can get it on local stores unless you know what you're doing

urm, With my exp. with SP2 and HP Products, definatly dont install Service Pack 2 Release Candidate 2 on your HP Laptop.  Only install the final, and make a CD Backup, dont let the SP2 setup do it for you and think your safe, because the SP2 Backup is unaccessible if you get the results I got.

By the looks of the comments in this thread, i'm waiting for the final version of WinXP SP2

Err... StyleXP doesn't change any file, so you shouldn't have any problems.

blah, yes it does.  Its an In-Memory Theme Patcher....Changing them in memory.

so far, i only noticed that the SP2 RC2 update only appears on comps who installed the previous SP2 Beta. And as the patch works just fine for me, cept a few minor bugs with networking although that is expected as it is still "beta" more or less. but dun install SP2 if ur afraid ur comp will crash cuz SP2 will mostly likely do that at some point

, it does do that.  And the first computer never even touched an SP2 website until Windows Update.

Err... it doesn't patch uxtheme.dll, which is what SP2 patches, and it does its work in memory as you say it, so SP2 shouldn't fail to install due to StyleXP.

Anyway, there are already updated uxtheme patchers out.
