It wasn't there before for sure. I can't remember seeing it in xp sp1 either.

Installed SP2, and am very happy to find out that my Firewire devices were perfectly detected during every boot. Except for one thing: I can't browse the net if I put all my p2p (bt, kazaa, you-know-what) up. There seems to be some sort of bandwith limiter working under shadow here that I'm not bright enough to figure it out. Disabling and enabling services (that includes ICF and stuffs) prove useless (at least for me). Also, connection and remove-devices icons that I previously enable in SP1 disappeared mysteriously. Requesting anyone's advice to these annoying problems.

So, just curious, since I just saw this... what's this all about... :huh: I have an Athlon XP... what CPU does this have to do with? P4? Ones with HT? Ones not out yet? :unsure:

Its for newer processors with the ability to mark segments of memory execute only and write only.

Some newer 64-bit processors have this ability.. ;)

i;ve visited it countless times, but i keep getting the following 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

is this just from heavy traffic? or is everyone getting this too? cuz i need those 5 updates.

Enable auto updates and the problem goes away. ;)

lol... i haven't actually installed it yet... and i don't really plan to. I'm fine right where i am. Though i wonder why there isn't as much of a rush for SP2 as there was for SP1...

there was a big rush for the SP2 a while back. but after MS issued that it would be delayed everyone just stopped caring....

    • UK nudity blockers are a looming privacy disaster, we must be able to see the source code

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
    • Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nintendo unveils The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, and it's out this year by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Confirming many rumors, Nintendo officially announced a remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the very first game in the series that offered a 3D experience to fans. Unlike previous remasters and re-releases, the originally 1998-released fantasy adventure game is being remade from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch 2 console this time. "The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2," said the company about today's announcement. While Nintendo didn't go into much detail about the project, other than confirming its existence, we did get a small teaser trailer at the Direct presentation today. Catch the footage below: With a tapestry as the backdrop, the first half of the trailer tells the tale of Hyrule, the Kokiri forest dwellers, and their fairy companions. It goes onto introduce "one particular boy" without a fairy, which then cuts to a sleeping Link, showcasing what looks like the new art style being introduced in the remake. Unfortunately, no gameplay or a look at the world has been revealed yet. The game originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 1998, offering a time travel adventure where Link is once again going up against the evil king Ganondorf. The hugely well-received title has only been playable on modern Nintendo consoles using the Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake for the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have a firm release date yet, but Nintendo says it will be released sometime in 2026. Considering just how many publishers are avoiding the Grand Theft Auto VI release nowadays, the company may copy that strategy and also opt to bring this out before November this year.
