SP2 removal.
I tried posting about my SP2 and FS 2004 problem on avsim, and all I get is
"SP2 security will not allow posts...cookie error" I never had any headaches with XP, FS2004, or any internet applications before SP2 How do I remove SP2...this was not a downloaded update, this came as part of the new installation CD. |

SP2 cannot be removed if its already integrated into your Windows XP CD.

It sounds like something is wrong with your installation.. If you performed a fresh installation of Windows XP - which is what is inferred - did you then go through and update all drivers and such from the hardware manufacturers? Did you download and install all patches after SP2 from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/? Did you check here for troubleshooting the FS2004 issues? http://support.microsoft.com/flightsim2004faq Did you try setting up Outlook Express to view and post to the newsgroups instead of the Web Interface? Did you try modifying the security settings for Windows XP and/or Internet Explorer? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |

You don't. Nor should you. SP2 is an upgrade to an operating system that works quite well in every machine it is put on that did NOT have problems before it was installed. So, my suggestions are to lose the CDO method you are using to post here, and use a real newsreader, then post your error message(s) and get whatever is wrong fixed. |

Shenan, You expected two MS products to work out of the gate! (grin) There is always away around a problem, just Google; Windows XP Professional SP1- Full Version * Microsoft Holographic Windows XP Professional CD * Comes with Microsoft owners manual * Comes with Certificate of Authenticity (COA) $91.00 Format & install.

I second that, SP2 is must and is not the root of the problem.
I have a question that is a little off topic. What is the problem with the CDO method of posting? Why do people have a problem with users posting this way? Someone who I guess was about 12 in Canada left a belligerant comment on my website because I posted my replies using CDO. I use web interfaces for as many apps as I can. Also how can you tell that I am using the web interface? -- http://www.americantechie.com "Jone Doe" wrote: "Erv" wrote in message ...

We can tell from your header properties:
X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 If you post using OE, we can tell if you have all relevant updates to your computer. An up-to-date XP would show: X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2670 Which we cannot see if you post through the Web Interface. Makes things much easier for us, and the poster. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP - (IE/OE) ~IB-CA~ "AmericanTechie" wrote in message ... I second that, SP2 is must and is not the root of the problem.

This is exactly what I am talking about. This newsgroup has really taken a
turn for the worse. Are you the same person who posted that rude comment on my website? Why do you even bother posting here if you can't be decent. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say if you are going to be rude. In that case you are just wasting your time. I use web interfaces for as many apps as I possibly can. I also extensively use online subscription based software for my business. If I must use desktop apps then I don't generally use Microsoft products. I use Firefox as a browser and if I must use an email/newsgroup client I use Thunderbird. The only reason I even use Windows and post to this newsgroup is because I did tech support for XP for three years and want to keep up with it. In any case I have little respect for your opinion if you do not understand that technology is all about enabling choice. This newsgroup is a place to get answers to your questions from people that are willing to help. An elitist attitude has no place here. -- http://www.americantechie.com "kurttrail" wrote: AmericanTechie wrote: I second that, SP2 is must and is not the root of the problem.

Well every newsgroups has it's trolls and we can't help that. I will toss
your post in the garbage bin along with all the other internet trash and spam. Posting to a newsgroup since 2001 obviously has not done any good for your character. I worked for Microsoft supporting Windows XP since it launched and have fixed thousands of problems. Not once did I ever come close to approaching the trash talk you have displayed in this newsgroup. I am sure plenty of people are greatful when you are helpful. Basically you just came in and posted that I am stupid for using a web interface and nobody is greatful for that type of behavior. You did not explain the problems with the web interface. You did not give me any technical advice. You just posted a worthless three liner for the trash bin. -- http://www.americantechie.com "kurttrail" wrote: AmericanTechie wrote: kurttrail wrote: AmericanTechie wrote: I second that, SP2 is must and is not the root of the problem.

Why do people have a problem with users posting this way? Speaking for myself, I don't have a problem with your participating in the newsgroup any way you want to. But as far as I'm concerned, it's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is, and you handicap yourself by doing so. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows. See http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/ou...snewreader.htm Many people who use CDO have trouble finding replies to their messages. It's slow because it gets messages one at a time, instead of all at once the way a newsreader would. It doesn't have the filtering, organizing, and spell-checking facilities that a newsreader has. Someone who I guess was about 12 in Canada left a belligerant comment on my website because I posted my replies using CDO. I use web interfaces for as many apps as I can. Your choice of course, but I strongly recommend that you try a newsreader instead. It will make your life much easier. Also how can you tell that I am using the web interface? It's in the header of your message: X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000 -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
