Why are you not running SP3? Why are so many that people that post
problems here not even current on software updates that are free
and highly recommended?
IT doesn't support it yet.


That's a pretty lame IT department! The good news is updates for SP2
are still available. But the end date for that keeps getting
closer...


Yeah. I know IT will force SP3 when SP2 ends its support. For now,
SP2. --


Everybody have a short memory or what? Nobody remembers the horrors of
upgrading to SP2? That was a *major* disaster for many! I tried to
upgrade three machines here and they all slowed down to a snail's pace.
The only fix to have SP2, was a total reinstall of a slipstream version
with SP2 included. That actually worked for me.

Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!
