Service Pack 2 (SP2)
A little annoyed acyually,
The download takes ages and when it is finally installed cock all works. I tried to connect the internet using IE and SP2 just wouldnt allow me to, it kept saying 'page could not connect' It is the same page that comes up when my modem is switched pff or you try and browse the net with out connecting to the internet. I am using the free version of Zonelabs firewall which i turned off when using sp2 but still nothing. I like the idea of the service pack 2 its just if it doesnt work or if there is so many problems what is the point of downloading it?? Is there anyway that i can make it work? PLEASE PLEASE help!!!! Cheers |

Cheers I understand that you are frustrated and am sympathetic. However, you haven't told us anything about your machine so we could give you specific help. Details that would be good are 1) make/model of your machine (if OEM); 2) whether the machine was 100% spyware and virus-free and if you thought so, how you knew; 3) what other preparations you did before installing SP2; 4) what specific problems aside from not being able to connect to the Internet you are experiencing (and how you connect - I assume dialup - what ISP?). In the meantime, here are links to help you troubleshoot SP2: http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm and http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#General http://forum.aumha.org/index.php - See SP2 forums SP2 Support Center http://support.microsoft.com/default...r=windowsxpsp2 Welcome to the Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) Chat (no-charge online support): http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=Wxpsp2chat Malke -- MS MVP - Windows Shell/User Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" |
