OptiPlex Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Just installed RC1...so far...so good. One question, however. My Cisco VPN won't work.....tells me that "Internet Connection Sharing must be uninstalled in Windows XP". How??? Please. :crazy: Maybe it doesn't work because this is a beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I've tried it 3 times on GetRight, twice using Firebird, and twice using FlashGet... thats why!So... IE was my last hope in getting this download to work. Actually I'm on the phone to my ISP now, they're having similar problems downloading it, so it might be a problem with my ISP. The download started at 2MB per sec, and is slowly dropping down below 300kb/sec on their connection. They're gonna ring me back shortly to tell me how the download went. Use Newsgroups. I posted the file there 2 days ago. its maybe still be there. Take 5mins of your life and learn NNTP. You'll have the file within a half hour. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I can't get custom themes to work, am I doing something wrong? I used the patcher here, but its not working. Do I need to go into safe mode or do something special? Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrizah Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 I can't seem to get the UXtheme.dll that is supposed to work for this release to work...Do I have to install it while in safe mode or something? I'm too lazy for that. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly2003 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Use Newsgroups. I posted the file there 2 days ago. its maybe still be there. Take 5mins of your life and learn NNTP. You'll have the file within a half hour. :p Thanks, ill take a look at the News groups. My isp downloaded it just fine, so I dunno whats going on. They basicly said there was nothing they could do, and got rid of me. All i really need is a mirror to get the last 10MB from (Ive managed to get one of my downloads up to 96%). I have that arranged, so ill see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Veteran Posted March 22, 2004 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2004 They're used for testing the new Windows Update site, nothing more. There are NO updates for SP2 yet, because SP2 isn't released, and as such, any new updates between now and the SP2 launch will be included in SP2.

family guy Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 (edited) i always have a problem installing this when it gets to plylst9.wp_ (plylst9.wpl). it gives me an error saying it couldnt copy the file. so two things: 1) is it possible my download was corrupt and could be creating problems when trying to copy the files? 2) does anyone else have a problem with this, and does anyone have a solution to it? [edit] i forgot, also after uninstalling (since i cant install fully in the first place... i cant use the welcome screen for logins. anyone know what could cause this also? thanks lol, i was hoping to play with all the new features :D instead i get this :( .... o well, betas will do that :pinch: [/edit] Edited March 23, 2004 by family guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
