[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 854324, member: 51635"] Between XP SP1 and XP SP2 Microsoft made some pretty drastic changes under the hood involving security and other things. It's so drastic yet so crucial that many apps that came out since then require SP2. You can either blow out the Boot Camp partition and re-do it (SP2 or better yet SP3 can be slipstreamed into any XP installation CD image) or install Vista if you feel that would be better for you. (How can a "computer guy" not know the most fundamental differences between XP SP1 and SP2? In OS X terms, it would be like not knowing the differences between OS X 10.2 and 10.5) [/QUOTE]
