Updating .NETFramework
Hi,
I have Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600), 950 megahertz AMD Duron, 768 Megabytes Installed Memory, .NETFramework 1.1. I read about the new features of 2.0 and compatibility considerations but, again, since I'm a newbie, it went over my head. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t357fb32(VS.80).aspx Some new programs require .NETFramework 2.0. If I updated .NETFramework to 2.0, would I have to change anything else in my pc, such BIOS, drivers, etc, or will updating to 2.0 be simply an update, such as when MediaPlayer updates? Denise |

Updating .NET Framework
Interesting Questions...
Further, what does .Net Framework 2.0 actually do for me if I don't develop software? DSH "HartsVideo" wrote in message ...

Updating .NET Framework
At the moment, it is doubtful if .NET Framework does anything for you if you
don't use any of the Visual Studio.net development programs, but this will probably not last. It didn't take long for some programs written after the introduction of .NET framework 1.1 to require this to run properly - the ATI graphics driver User Interface, for example. Now many programs need this. It is likely that the same situation will arise with .NET framework 2. Incidentally, Vista, the next Windows Operating System will only run .NET Framework 2 and not bother with the previous 2. It's up to you whether you install it now or later; but you will need it at some time, so you may as well install it now at your leisure to avoid the trouble of having to install it on demand some time in the future when a program you want (or need) to install informs you that it needs .NET 2 to run. Hope this helps. -- BadHead --- OS: Windows XP Professional SP2 (32-bit) Office Suite: Microsoft Office 2003 Professional SP2 MoBo: Abit AN8 Fatal1ty CPU: AMD64 3200 (Venice Core) RAM: 2048Mb 400Ghz Patriot XBLK (4X512MB) GPU: NVIDIA 6800 (Driver Version 78.01) Sound: Creative Audigy X-Fi Fatal1ty FPS "D.

It certainly DOES help.
A very fine and complete answer. Thank you kindly. I have installed 2.0. But I notice it did not replace previous versions. They are needed for some programs that won't work with 2.0?

Updating .NET Framework
To maintain compatibility you need 1.0 and updates, 1.1 and updates, and 2.0

Thank you Jerry for your reply. My pc doesn't nor has it ever had 1.0, but
it was very helpful to know that I need to maintain 1.1. Denise |

BadHead, As I said, there are some programs that I want that require 2.0.
It was the reason for me posting this question but Hines jumped in on my post so that he muddied the water for me (and maybe you). Thanks for your reply. Denise |
