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

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!)

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

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

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

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