Umm... For the life of me, I can't get that uxtheme.dll to copy over the one in the system32 folder. I booted into Safe Mode and everything. What am I doing wrong?

Rename the file it would let u copy over it or delete it, boot in safe mode with command and change to system32 folder then type ren uxtheme.dll uxtheme.bak after that copy the new dll into the folder.

It works swell. Just the pop up thing is "tight" compared to a tool bar. It does have a mind of it's own.

I went to GRC com. McAfee Firewall Plus is better and SP2 loves it. It will yell at you balloon hell if you don't have an updated approved AV and FW combo. If you don't so YES to auto updates (and you will get some) a hand comes out and grabs your game software and destroys it.

Outside of that, works fine.

,Mar 20 2004, 14:58] whats wrong with the microsoft download.. after a bout 5 minutes of slow speed (not really that slow @ 121 kB/s) i got 300 kB/s..

I suppose the thing thats wrong with MS's server is the fact that I have been downloading for about 6 hours now, what it does, is it downloads at 54K/sec for 5 min bursts and usally sites for 10-20mins doing nothing. Its slow and painfull :wacko:

You can't even set the allowed ports on applications in McAfee right? You can either trust an app completly or block it completly. This is wierd imo. I tried if before and it's farily easy to work, but the lack of port control was disturbing.

I only want my FTP client to do outbound port 21, nothing else. But that wasn't possible in McAfee fireall :(

Well, Installed it, works great but very slow to boot up for each account on my computer after installing but now it's perfect. It does'nt recognize my Virus Scanner which is nod32. Other than that it's working smoothly.

Question about Final SP2. I will do a fresh install when the time comes but wondering, would you have to install SP1 first then SP2 ?

cheers

2.5mb/sec for me, salford uni connection is VERY fast, burn it onto cd and install it on my computer in my room.

time to remove the beta version of sp2, the one before 2082.

273mb is better than the 340mb the last sp2 build i had !!!

cant wait till final, then i will get the corporate sp2 integrated and create myself an unattended xp installation and remove some of the **** like msn explorer and windows messenger and get it to install msn 6.1 by default or 6.2 when its out in a month !!!

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Shun Tao · Posted

      I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"

      Anyone who expects MS to play fair is a complete idiot.
