Win XP Service Pack 2

[Tigger]

I was using a pc with SP2 on it the other day and it was a nightmare - websites had all their flash, js and css blocked, basically destroyingmost pages I viewed.

Is this the case for everyone or was it just a badly configured pc??

Will anyone step forward and reccomend installing SP2?

[blue jammer]

Sounds like badly configured internet explorer, or maybe a firewall blocking something?

I've had it on 3 pc's and it's spot on

[butty]

yeah i aint ad no problems with it and all it all seems sweet as a nut a brazil one at that

[doolz]

make sure teh sp2 firewall is turned off because its on by default and use whatever u normally use



personally im waiting a bit longer til i bother with sp2 let microshaft sort some of teh bugs first

only prob ive had with mine is nero compatibility thing but that was sorted with an update

u aint installed norton have ya, specially firewall or system works they love fucking things up...couldnt get in me gmail for ages till i binned it off

[Saysay]

We put this on our computer the other day and it totally f*cked it up!! We've had to format our pc AGAIN!! Havin major probs with the damn thing!!

It said that it may not be correctly configured and that the system was unstable!!

no problems what so ever with it my end, had to play about with the security settings a bit in outlook and IE cause they were set so high I couldnt recieve attachments or see web pages propper but once I sorted that out it was fine.

No probs with it all so far

Put it on mine, but the firewall conflicted with my 3rd party one, so I gave it the elbow- mind you I think when you remove SP2 i think it leaves the security patches on and removes the firewall and all the gubbins...

Can anyone confirm this?

Should have just turned it's built in firewall off

I didn't have any of it's options on in the security panel thingy, already got me own

I switched off the windows firewall but I was still being blocked, I had that program alg.exe running in the background which a google search showed that I was still trying to run xp firewall with a 3rd party one.

As I don't trust MS one little bit you could guess which I removed LOL.
