WinXP SP2 Beta Version 2055
Tom Porterfield wrote:
SP1a is exactly the same as SP1 but with the MS Java Virtual Machine removed. So if you already have SP1 installed there is no reason to download/install SP1a. See this link for info on why Microsoft is removing the JVM from their products - http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/java/. I am most appreciative for the info Very best wishes |

Why dont you leave and go be a good "unoffical tester" (if there is such as thing) These ****wit's get stupider with every beta M$ puts out. It's no good you hiding.

Hi, We had established that the OP had no MSDN subscription and was not a
valid tester. You all may continue this as long as you wish, but this is my closing post. The software is not yours. Do not come here to post for help or whatever you want to call it until the software is released to the public. -Relevance to Topics:XP SP2 is not relevant, as it has not been released to the public. -Confidentiality:All beta testers are always under non-disclosure agreement's (NDA) "Robert Moir" wrote in message ... anonymous wrote: Hey ****wit's wake up!

Advise well taken.
Side note. This all started with the MSDN discussion. Tom Porterfield brought up the MSDN topic. Sorry all for the way I have acted. "Robert Moir" wrote in message ...

Hi Tom
Can you please give us an idea about how big SP2 (network) is. People on Dial-Up like me have to arrange for it via cable downloaders. Also, does the beta have all the proposed fixes, and is it essentially just being "tested"? Or will more fixes be incorporated as time progresses? Thanks! -- Dilip "Tom Porterfield" wrote in message ... cowboy wrote: I understand that it didn't come with support. What I figured is that I might just run into someone that has already dealt with the problem and might have a solution. That is what the Beta Versions is all about. Cowboy, my apologies for the ridiculousness of this thread. You deserve to be treated better than this, as anyone does. There is no reason not to expect that someone who could answer your question would. So far I have installed SP2 on three different machines. Once as an upgrade and the other two were clean installs. So far I have not seen the error you are reporting so can't offer an suggestion as to what might be the cause of the problem. If I come across anything I will let you know. You might try uninstalling SP2, or rolling back to a restore point from before the install. Verify that everything is working and then try SP2 again. You might also try going to Adminstrative Tools in the Control Panel and opening services. Try manually stopping and restarting the Automatic Updates service. Good luck. -- Tom Porterfield MS-MVP Smart Display http://support.telop.org Please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup only. |

The only thing not answered is the length of the download ......... What improvements are being tested, and when will testing be complete? What percentage of testers have had annoying problems Thanks for your help Probably not questions that can be answered. After all, all private beta testers are under strict NDA. MS has released some information that can be found at the following links: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...ityinxpsp2.asp http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...n/winxpsp2.asp SP2 is currently in early beta, so things are still subject to change as the beta progresses. -- Tom Porterfield |

Yes - I agree. That's why there aren't really Microsoft "enthusiasts". Mr. Frisch needs to develop his people skills. I hope he is not in the employ of Microsoft but rather some kind of unpaid lackey... at least that would make me feel a bit better.

Hey Cowboy, did youexpect anything more than a moronic answer from someone who claims to speak for Microsoft? I've crashed Windows XP PRO so many times, that I started buying extra hard drives to throw in and Install a fressh copy of XP and then just downl
oad the files off of the crashed operating system.And, NEVER have I gotten ONE good piece of advice from any Microsoft official. Microsoft, I believe, uses it's best programmers in a so-called hit squad to deal with anyone who speaks up too loudly against them. It's almost amazing how quickly my computer has started acting squirrely right after posting some less than glowing opinions about our great computer Mother. I came here for the first time, re-directed by a Microsoft Help Page(another funny oxy moron ), because I can't play MPEGS in Win Media Player anymore. After reading these posts, after you asked, first off, for some info, I don't think these pompous know-it-all's about nothing would even be willing to help with my problem. The botom line is, Micro soft ain't perty, but she's all we got to work with at this time and space. Well, I guess my computer's gonna be crashing soon, so I better get moving on installing a new hard drive. Thanks for the support Microsoft. May you reap what you sow! ----- cowboy wrote: ----- Chris and Carey, you two must be an Item, ya both have the same answer for everything. Although your answer are pretty lame and stupid. YES I KNOW it is a Beta release and there are going to be BUGS, and yes those bugs will be Ironed out, and NO I am not an official Beta Tester. But I was hoping that I would run into some guys that also have it loaded and might have an answer, THAT IS WHAT A FORUM IS FOR, but I made a mistake and ran into you two Morons who like to play Moderators on an open forum. The problem is you are of no help to anyone, not even yourself because you can't step out of your little play ground long enough to learn anything. With that said, I found some answers to my problem on another forum that is not WinXP Beta Related, isn't that amazing. I actually found some people that knew what a forum was for. Why don't you two little pansies get married and go to work for Microsoft and get it over with. |

Believe it are not, I did solve my problem with the help of someone in this thread. Of course that was after taking a bunch of crap from 2 or 3 morons, or might I say, Microsoft Employee Wantabes. My thanks goes out to the 97% who know what a Newsgroup is
for. My middle finger goes out to the other 3% |
