Is there a revised version of SP2
I had to uninstall the SP2 Service Ppack downloaded quite some time ago,
from my Home Edition XP because the Network Connection Manager failed after installing it. But I am told a) that the problem was observed primarily in Home Edition and b) that there is a revised version of SP2 in which the problem has been overcome for the Home Edition. How does one check if the currently available version of SP2 on the Microsoft site is N C M problem-proof? Or is there any documentation along with the pack which clearly specifies that the problem has been taken care of with the currently offered version of SP2? I am keen on downloading it because I want to get the Firewall working back again. P. Jayant |

I do not know of the Network Connection Manager problem.
I would not rely on the SP2 firewall. It is not that complete. Look at other "free" firewalls: Zone Alarm Free -- www.zonealarm.com Kerio Personal Firewall --- www.kerio.com Sygate --- www.sygate.com "P.Jayant" wrote in message ...

You were told wrong, on both counts. I haven't seen the problem you experienced, but I'm never seen any such problem which occured in XP Home, but not XP Professional. And there is only one version of SP2; there's no such thing as a "revised version" of it. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

There may be a hotfix for the problem you were having with network connection manager, but you would install that after installing SP2. I am not aware of the specific issue you are referring to. Search the KB at http://support.microsoft.com to see if there is a separate download available for your issue. Then the steps would be to install SP2, visit http://update.microsoft.com to get any critical updates that have been released since SP2. Finally install, if necessary any other optional updates to address the network connection manager problem. -- Tom Porterfield MS-MVP Windows Shell / User |
