Well I still have SP2 installed. Because of it I had to run a game in compatibility mode, and I had to log in safe mode with networking in order to have file sharing, but since I only needed a few times I let it on. The game has no other problems, it just wouldn't start if it's not in compatibility mode. I don't know why it would screw up the hotmail account stuff. It must be some of your setup things.

I installed SP2 a week ago, and my computer has ran completely fine ever since.

I know about the firewall, but there is an Antivirus feature in SP2? Where?

SP2 doesn't have a built in Antivirus. It has a way to detect whatever AV product you have installed and you can have it tell you when its time to udpate or whatever.

i wont let my computer install SP2, wont take the chance of it screwing with my games, when it poses absolutly no benefit to me anyway.

Null hit the nail on the Head. Ive seen too many problems installing SP2. The biggest problems Ive seen is the AV that they have on it. In some cases if you have norton and install the new SP2 it turns off norton and forces you to use the AV/FW on SP2.
