Re: SP2 on M205

Working fine here, but you probably should make sure your system is totally
clean of an possible virus/Trojan/parasite infections before installing.
Make sure your anti-virus is not running at all. Before installing,
download and save the XP SP2 version of drivers available from Toshiba's web
site.

It's always a good idea to update drivers if they come out with drivers
specific to a new SP or something as toshiba did, since the first question
anyone will always ask if you have problems, be it here or Toshiba support,
is going to be "are you running the latest drivers?"

They often involve performance tweaks too, for things like video drivers and
such. So it's certainly worth doing a restore point and giving them a try.
