Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

I must admit I've had a fair few programs crash on me since install, but I took a ghost of my C drive before I installed it so I can always roll it back if I need to.

Hopefully it'll just be bugs and they'll sort themselves out.

Weird that, I've not had a hang, crash or stutter since install and that was a clean install on this PC and a dirty install on the networked PC :confused:
Mind you I still go with my previous post in situations like this :D

I've had no problems with the RC2 version on my notebook, so that's weird :erm:

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

I've been researching this issue.. and have seen many conflicting views from people as to the real world effect of this.

Do you have any more details on what this restriction will prevent the normal user from doing?

Has that update from Symantec been released yet?

Which version should i download cos i dont see NAV 2002 Pro listed.

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

I think my anti-virus software needs an update, because the unistall application crashes when I try to remove the firewall (since XP's is all I need).

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

I was aware there wasn't a patch (thanks to this forum) from Symantec so I didn't want it to cause any conflicts with my pc so I removed Norton security all together and just went back to just norton antivirus only and set the security centre to un-monitored. Works a treat.

Last time I installed SP2 with Norton Security working... it caused numerous problems and crashed constantly.

I am very shocked Symantec haven't sorted out a patch already. You would think Microsoft would have worked with them to get a patch out before the launch of SP2.

Yeah there certainly are many conflicting views, but all I know is since I installed sp2 my Azureus is running like pigsh*t and when I try to browse with P2P software open it simply does not work on any website, yet the downloading continues.

Since installing a patched tcpip.sys, there is no difference to the browsing/downloading state, yet the eventlog warnings about maxing out tcp/ip connections have stopped. Seems totally screwed to me and I may end up renstalling. :confused:

Re: MERGED Windows XP SP2 - Now released
 

Yep, the Product Update tab has no mention of NAV 200x.

As such, I would say that you shouldn't download *any* of the other patches, because they are not for your particular product.


Perhaps NAV 200x doesn't actually need patching.


Also, from the FAQ:
