I know i should be one of those people that know this, but every computer i have installed this on has had crashing issues and all that fun stuff. So i have stoped using it. Is it all fixed now or what. im not sure if i can now install it. anyone have it installed on their computer and has no problems?

I'm hesitating installing it. I don't see a huge need for it but I could be wrong and missing some features. I haven't heard of anyone crashing with it.

Windows XP SP3 has an issue with AMD procs on OEM machines.  It is due to the way Windows was installed at the factory.  I installed it when I redid my box.  Saves on doing a shitload of updates.  Not really nesissary, but probably a good thing to install within a year or so.  Just make sure to backup your computer with Ghost or something along those lines.
