Win XP Update Crashes Some PCs
Users who forgo recently released SP1 risk a major
vulnerability, as well as missing numerous small fixes.
Some Windows XP users are having trouble installing the
operating system's first service pack, bulging with bug
fixes and updated drivers--and are judging the cure
worse than the disease.
Although SP1 plugs a major hole in the OS, the fix has
been painful for a tiny but vocal few of the estimated 1
million users who have downloaded the update, which
Microsoft posted on September 9. For the vast majority,
the download and installation has gone well, according
to a Microsoft spokesperson, who calls the process
"smoother than a lot of previous releases."
But Internet support forums and e-mail to PC World from
disgruntled users show that many people continue to have
serious problems with the update. The chief complaint:
PCs that run like molasses after installing SP1. Running
a close second are reports that PCs refuse to restart
after installation or become highly unstable. Some
systems continuously reboot. Other users complain that
applications won't start or now crash repeatedly,
including Microsoft's own programs.
