^ it is not like reformatting. it’s just a compilation of hotfixes, like stuff they missed out when they first released vista. still, it’s best to do a backup of important docs before installing SP2.

Just a quick question: If you install the service pack, will it delete the data that’s in the computer (just like reformatting)?

Thanks!

I have it but I haven’t really noticed any significant performance improvements yet. I don’t seem to have the problem with my animations turning off anymore though
