Any one tested this yet. Would be nice to know if BD works with SP2 since theire are a copple of programa's that act funky on SP2.

I'm going to wait awhile before downloading SP2. Think of all the hardware, software problems that are going to come from this. Plus all the upgrades to fix flaws in SP2.



God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill, because they pissed me off.

From what I can see unless you really want the new features (security control panel etc) there is not a lot of reason to upgrade to SP2 unless you have no idea about PC security...

If you have another firewall, some decent anti-virus, software that will take care of spy/adware and don't use Internet Explorer/Outlook then you should be fine without it until all the problem are sorted.

The Windows XP Service Pack 2 [color:"red"]BETA[/color] is reported as being not totally compatible with StarForce, so be sure you use a [color:"red"]FINAL[/color] version of Windows XP Service Pack 2 if you encounter problems with the game.

No problem with any of my games so far... but Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek what have they done to it!!!!!

also i am running spybot S&D as a added security feature (amazing what difference this program makes - since i own a internet café, you can immagine how much strain my computers take)and it went mad closing vulnerabilities (and as far as i know, it only knows about old vulnerabilities, i havent seen a new update for it yet to include the newly found ones) so i am patiently waiting for them to find new ones.....

Perhaps Microsoft is trying to get people to buy Virtual PC (VPC). This way you can run all your old Window versions and even DOS. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

So if you have a problem with XP and SP2 you can go to a different version of windows. Clever.

Think I'll look further in VPC. That way I can run my old Wizardy games and Ultima.

Started running SP2 on Win XP Home, last Wed-Thur. So far no probs with BD or my online game, Planetside.

Quick question for the person with Internet Cafe who said they're running Spybot. Did you keep getting msgs from Spybot about attempts to change 2 registry entries after SP2 was running? I kept getting 1 about changing some homepage value to Hex 00 and another one I forget now. Both looked like they had something to do with the SP2 install but I just kept getting them until I told Spybot to "remember this decision". Just wondering thx.

I allowed those changes the first time around.... its only a temporary change... it gets changed back almost immediately.... after than i have had no more hassles with spybot, other than the initial check where it had to close the DSO exploits (AGAIN) and it came up with some active x troubles too....

But the webpage changes were temporary.... i presume they are similar to the wextrack clean 0 and wextrack clean 1 you get while installing programs...
