Windows XP Pro SP2

Good Morning Gents,

Don't seem to be having much success with my postings lately. However, I am afraid I have another question for the experts & experienced Vaio users using Windows XP, maybe I will have more luck this time.

As I have said I have a Vaio (as below) and am still running on SP1 as originally supplied. I have resisted updating my software, despite numerous prompts, to SP2 because of the bad reports I have heard and read about the effects this upgrade had on installed software and stability.

Now, despite what many of you may think about the Symantec (Norton) Anti Virus and Firewall software I have been running it for many years without any problems except I guess for a slower running computer. I am now being prompted to upgrade the Norton software but it will not load without SP2 or SP3 being installed on my Laptop - what do I do please?

Quite simply, do I 'bite the bullet' and install SP2? If so what problems/risks am I taking??

Many thanks,

Gyron
