[b3ta]

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Interim Build 2120 is now available for download.

Go and get it while it's fresh! :cool:

I'm on dial-up here, no download for me. :cry: I'd die before the download completes. Maybe. . . . . :unsure:

Known Issues

Please be aware of these two known issues with build 2120:

Internet Explorer may hang when browsing large websites over a secure (HTTPS) connection. Users can close the hung window through Task Manager.

Error "Windows Installer:  The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed." encountered when installing some applications. To work around this issue:

a) Reboot the machine.

b) Log in as the local administrator.

c) In a console window run ?msiexec /regserver?

After reading the ^ I really won't bother getting this build. But maybe Cream will and we may then get to see the changes:D; :D

Hello, the newest member here!

I had the 2096 and went to Windows Beta site and downloaded the 2120 but after I installed it still shows 2096??? I did not choose the option for uninstall when installing 2096 and I signed on to Win Beta site via my hotmail account. Why do I still have the 2096? Do I have to sign in with user id/password to download 2120? Anybody can provide it if so? Thanks!

I'm just downloading now, did they fix that shutdown, full blackout bug yet?

[Hypoxiaicon]

How do you download from the windows beta site?

[Storm]

login

But you need to be a registered beta tester

I know it is not for me but I want to ask too.

I used to be a beta tester for some products and I went to the site with my hotmail account and was able to download. But there is one more option to sign in "ID that begins with "MPC" or "WPC" which I don't have. Is it something different then sign in with your hotmail/.Net account?

[Storm]

I think That that is for Microsoft personal, and OEM testers

So, why do I have still 2096 :no:

[Storm]

Are you a propper beta tester?

If so contact MS Beta

Thanks !

It's good they email us testers about these things. I find out whats available for me from Neowin faster than I do from MS.

[Storm]

Yeah i know, i didnt get mail either :/

Now it won't install for me. Just sitting there, not frozen, but not doing anything either.

Just noticed after updating to 2120, Windows Update no longer goes to test.v5.windowsupdate, but instead goes just to v5.windowsupdate

At which stage?
