Oh yes there are Luce..It is a profession for some nut cases

Here in Norway (those of us who use the native language version of XP) the SP2 will be ready to download next week. It remains to see how it works, maybe a good idea to wait and see, but at the same time all new things have to be explored
Happy playing.

I installed SP2 via the free CD from Microsoft USA.

I had to uninstall SP2 (recommended by my ISP) My problem....
I could connect to the Internet, but I could not browse the Internet, as no web pages, inluding my homepage, would display.

After uninstalling SP2,which, by the way, is easily done, I was again able to browse the Internet with IE6, and all web pages, inluding my homepage, displayed as before installing SP2

I'm interested to see if anyone else has this problem or if anyone else has any ideas why this happened.

Thanks,
Larry

Hi
I installed SP2 which knocked out my graphics card drivers and left me with a 640x480 4bit screen. Not very useful. It took two re-installations of my original Nvidia drivers to get back to normal.
Also, SP2 has a known problem with Nero Burning Rom which has already made available online a suite of downloads to rectify the problem. If you only have a dial-up connection you have a problem.
I am still using SP2 but I am waiting for more problems to arise.

Hope I'm wrong
Alan

I am running SP2 along with Nero with 100% no problem what-so-ever and that includes all the other programmes music and data,
of course it could be a different problem with older non compatable programmes.
Anybody who is having a problem maybe should look at what kit they are trying to run with.

Hi all
I've XP service pack on both desktop and laptop. Not had any problems at all. A pop up stopper is included which allows you to select those sites where you want to allow pop ups

After reading (and posting) this tread, I've found the downloadable SP2 version for administrators, innstalled on both a laptop and a home PC. So far so good, just a little bit configuration to fit the existing firewall and progs, everything looks OK, no problems at all..... yet

Hi All.
ASk yourself one question?
Are you upgrading for the sake of it.
Think about it.
Cheers Bazz

Nope, just to get rid of the curiosity
about how it works, if it works and so
on

Larry it sounds like it may be due to XP's firewall. Did you try turning that off to see it was the cause of the problem ?
