Re: xpsp2 q

I've installed on my virtual copy of xp (via virtual pc) and haven't had any problems yet....

If I still don't get any problems after a week or so I may put it on my laptop. But I'm not putting it on my main system untill it's been properly released.

I have had a look through the options and the advanced internet options, but i can't see any options that should affect it. Still worth giving it a go though!

I think you should check whether your PC is infected with any spyware/malware which is hijacking your web browser.

Re: [Merged] Windows XP SP2

I think I would rather they released something that doesn't shaft my mystem when installing it than rushing it out to me. And let's face it, there's not really very much forecast in SP2 that most of us haven't used third party programs for anyway, or would find utterly useless.

Any serious patches can be handled via the usual monthly updates.
