Hope this helps
Or

1) Click Start
2) Click on Control Panel
3) Double click on Administrative Tools
4) Double click on Services
5) Scroll down the list untill you see something called security centre
6) Right click on this and click Properties
7) In the Startup Type box select Manual
8) Click Apply
9) Click OK

Ok found a new fault with SP2, windows Zero config for wireless networks interferes with 3rd party wireless config or rather more specificly in this situation it interferes with the Dlink Wireless config for the DWL-G650 on my laptop. Basicly the problem is that when I setup my network by configuring it through the 3rd party software upon reboot my connection will not function until I do a site survey. Disabling windows Zero Config stops this problem alltogether. Dont know if this affects all 3rd party wireless software, dont even know if it effects all Dlink Wireless cards but its clearly caused a problem for me so I figured I would give you all a heads up :)

I have just installed XP SP2, everything seems fine except every time my computer starts, Outlook Express is launching automatically, obviously checked 'Startup' programs and 'msconfig' nothing is listed there.

Any ideas?

Check in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run but also check in the other root keys like Current_Machine etc.

Might be an idea to uninstall OE and switch to something secure... ;)

I have a router, so I set it not to bother me about the firewall, but every now and again the box unticks it's self and it starts nagging again. It usually happens after a start up, but not every start up.

Have you got anything loading on startup that may be triggering OE? (Messenger etc) and have you checked for spyware recently?
Does it just open or does it open the window to create a new email, send receive etc ?

Nope nothing loads on startup, Microsoft Messenger service is disabled, it always sends and receives as soon as it starts.

Done a spyware check, nothing showing up, it just started as soon as i had finished the SP2 upgrade.

Its not a major thing I know just irritating!!!

Disabled? You can tell it not to run on startup instead? Some things need the messenger services to run. Have you checked the options in OE to make sure its not set to send receive on startup etc?

Sorry I mean disabled as in 'Manual' on startup, have checked all the options nothing seems to suggest send and receive on startup, I just cant see how OE, is starting automatically, cant see any reference to it anywhere.
