The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

I have weatherbug working fine here. I'm on a clean install of XP Pro SP2 though.

re installed WB and it works now but admuncher is still broken, so I emailed the author of it, to see if he would lke my help testing new releases on sp2 so when it hits he can release an update and all can be happy

if you have the express install (where it downloads all of it) do you need to get a new copy each time a new version of the beta comes out, or will the one just grab the updated files?

nope... you have to uninstall the SP and get a new version.

did u use that gamexp crap to tweak windows?

if so restore it to default settings via the app and all should be well.

I wasn't using Game XP but I have disabled a load of Services I don't normally use... I will turn them all back on and try again. Thanks

To bad nobody gave ME the credits! After all, I was the first to find out! https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=126109&st=0& This article is from december 24th 2003. Read it anyway, because there are some nice tips in this article.

By the way, for people having ActiveX problems:

Set the following registry settings:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\explorer.exe = 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\iexplore.exe = 0

Restart Internet Explorer

For people who are having networking problems when using filesharing-clients:

Completely disable the service for Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing Service. Because even when the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP SP2 is disabled, the service is still enabled and blocking incoming en outgoing connections and udp broadcasts. You have to reboot your machine for the changes to have effect. Use a third party firewall instead.

Greetz,

I asked how you enable the background intelligent transfer service to get WU 5.0 working again? I asked if it was enabled through the registry... Comprehendes?

To raid517:

If you now this little about the working of the OS, I don't think messing with beta soft is a good idea.

Just an opinion.

On topic:

It seems I can no longer avoid MS trying to send error messages.

I check the option "don't send", I tried it with several tweaking programs, ... no luck.

Anyone with the same problem?

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
