    It's a Service Pack containing the latest updates and patches from Microsoft, it also includes a built in firewall and anti-virus monitering. It just updates your system, it won't wipe anything from your hard drive.

    Although I doubt installing the Service Pack will fix your crashing problem... But make sure you do a full virus scan before installing, there have been many a botched installation of SP2.

    No no, I mean do a complete virus scan on your computer before you install.
