Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

Is there a link on the microsoft website for it?

Re: Windows XP Sp2

Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

For those of you using this release candidate I hope that the final release is compatible! Strictly for beta testers in my book.

Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

But candidate is not beta. Tut tut you didn't know that:pp

Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

I shall be waiting for the final release - even then I'll probably wait a couple of days to see if there's a huge outcry! (other than the fact that it's about 200MB!)

Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

I agree.

Apple just released a faulty airport update (wireless networking), luckily I didn't install it because I checked the reports first.

But since this has had a public beta AND RC testing, I would expect problems to be minimal.

Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

I know it's not beta, it is NOT a Final release, so I SAID it was for beta testers. Tut tut!!

Re: Windows XP Sp2
 

RC2 is coming out in may, MS hopes that the first half of this year we will have a 'final' release, but they dont rule out further RC's

xpsp2 q
 

i know it was probably a bad idea but i have installed xpsp2 :erm: , everytime i view a webpage i get a message as below , any ideas how to stop it :(

Re: xpsp2 q
 

looks like the updated firewall is blocking traffic... have a look around your advanced settings.. you may need to set up a new trusted zone.... i'll have a look once i've downloaded it

Re: xpsp2 q
 

Try putting a site in the trusted sites zone and see if you get the same message.

Re: xpsp2 q
 

you nailed it , i put this site in the trusted zone and i dont get the message , now how do i avoid having to put everything in the trusted zone :confused:


edit :- i tried turning windows firewall off and it made no difference :(
