Windows XP periodically records a snapshot of your computer. These snapshots are called restore points. Windows XP also creates restore points at the time of significant system events (such as when an application or driver is installed) or you can create and name your own restore points at any time. If you’ve installed a program that has made your computer unstable, you can open system restore, choose a restore point, and return your computer to its previous stable state.

Unfortunately, these restore points may also contain the malware which we had just fixed. This necessitates the flushing of these restore points.

Unless you have some outdated devices which conflicts, SP2 generally works great with equipment that you've purchased within the last 3-5 years. Please get the upgrade. It may resolve your BSOD issues.

In the unlikely event that you experience problems, you can still rollback to your previous configuration.
