Service packs on WinXP? I don't recall there even being one released yet. :confused:

If you're referring to security patches, then I would recommend reinstalling them all, just in case.

If you're referring to Win2000, then SP2 would be the one to shoot for.

Personally, I would reinstall them all, but I'm a security freak, so... ;)

I've had it work both ways in the shop, depending on how much of a repair was needed..my rule of thumb was to always run windows update for the critical updates, if they don't show up, then no..
