I had no problems myself with a Compaq 2568 laptop. I had to install SP2
twice though the second time was because a spyware utility somehow prevented
16-bit software from running. Had to do the restore thing. I was lucky
enough that I was able to get everything backed up first. Also upgraded the
firmware On my Dell Axim and had no problems. I have heard of people having
problems doing both. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
