Three days ago I installed an an automatic update for Win 2K Pro (SP3) that proved to really mess things up for me. The supposed security "Pre SP4 Hotfix" caused my system to run an instance of svchost.exe (NOT scvhost.exe - the virus) that continuoually used 95% - 99% of my cpu power and increasingly ate up my avalable memory until the system would crash. I also lost the ability to print or even add a printer on account that my available system resources were so low. After uninstalling the hotfix, my system returned to the right state and all was well. Please be careful what you install from M$ as they have not always fixed a problem but caused a new one. If you are going to get Win 2K fixes, be wary and have a restore point!

I will stick with simple SP3...until SP4 comes out officially...

BetaONE Rules!
