The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

http://www.adminlessbliss.net/showthread.php?p=197

there is a link for the new XP SP2... if this post is breaking the rules then i'm sorry and feel free to delete this post... i just assumed by the thread contents so far that we could put up links... again, sorry if i was mistaken

I am a Beta Tester fro this software, I Have downloaded it and when i try to install it when it checks my Configuration it just closes and pops up with setup could not verify integrity of the file Update.inf. Make sure the Cryptographic service is running on this computer.

So were can you download the download manager at?

Please Note: Windows XP SP2 does not nor will it ever contain a Microsoft IE Download manager. The Download management feature is currently only part of Windows Longhorn M5.

It is not expected to feature in SP2.

Okay then. Where can I download the download manager in the screenshot on the last page?

That is the Download manager at Betaplace & Windowsbeta that Microsoft use's to distribute BETA's to official testers. It can only be used at Betaplace by official Microsoft testers and only works with Files Microsoft choses to distribute with it.

hrm, anyone got a UXTHEME for this?

also, i have found winupdate v5 seems to be giving me an error

Windows Update has encountered an error and cannot display the requested page.

You may wish to try one of these sources for more information about Windows Update:

Support Information

About Windows Update

Windows Update Home Page

Error Number: 0x80070422

Did anyone else notice this? Its cool!

[edit] I am a retard. That is always there when you open .tif files. You can flame me for my stupidness now...

Which visual style is that? :)

[edit]

Damn, just downloaded xpsp2-express.exe and now it tells me I have to uninstall my current SP2 installation. But I can't, because I used my home-made XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed :(

Is there any way to avoid this stuff and just install it?

Edited by rb338

I have a question before i install it to test it, where it says "180 Day License

Prerelease Version of Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows XP

Professional or Home Edition " does that mean it stops working after 180 days? or did i miss read something somewhere? :huh:

    • From what i understand from the article on the link, Google is buying from SpaceX access to a limited supply of Nvidia CPUs.   Evidendtly SpaceX was able to secure access to the Nvidia GPUs shutting out Google from buying them directly from Nvidia resulting in this reverse deal.

    • LOL, expect to take you seriously? The $7k myth? Ignoring the BILLIONS Qatar spends every year to influence American politicians and universities? Claim terrorists are "journalists" when they are members of Hamas and even have Hamas funerals with their pictures in Hamas garb. "Snipe kids" when they don't, meanwhile the other side sends kids into battle (and their mothers praise their martyrdom) and uses them as human shields and their schools as rocket launch sites and entrances to their tunnels - which they took all their foreign aid to build at the expense of their people. Base their operations at hospitals - violating every rule of war and making said hospital legitimate military targets? AND THEY KILL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE - listen to their own testimonies themselves, their interviews on what they do to them! They're proud of it! Your talking points are all BS and you know it. Stop defending another Islamic dictatorship that uses terror as their primary policy.
    • BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.
