Windows XP Hotfix (SP1) - WTF????
 

Sorry... I know this isnt a comp tech forum but there seems to be some people here who know these things.

When I go to add/remove programs I have like 20+ of these things in there. Do I need them? What are they?

Thanks.

The XP updates, you should keep them around.

Security updates etc are in there prolly.

it means the piratd version of XP u have doesnt have the SP1 pack..get the newest release with xp1

There critical updates from Microsoft ;)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

if your installation of XP has an activation key that starts w/ "FCKGW..." then you should *definitely* install the XP SP1 through 'Windows Update' immediately, your system is unprotected from many dangerous virii and active-X exploits until you do.. :2 cents:

XP was preloaded on this computer when I bought it brand new.

Do you have the XP cd? or just "baught a preloaded Box"

thats XP for you, just over the weekend CNN/hot wired i belive it was
said their were a total of 220 security flaws reported in the month of july.
"so go figure"

Best os my ass, im only a slave to XP for pc game playing, other then that it's crap

:thumbsup

If you have a problem call Microsoft and they will gladly help you with this one.

i have the updated one with the sp1 pack installed
