The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

Is anyone getting horrid screeching noises from WMP9 (SP2 build)? It seems to happen intermittently for me, and could well be to do with my WMP being minimized to the MSN dashboard. It's HORRID I tell you!

I've just downloaded and re-installed it to see if that fixes it.

Hi,

I'm a beta tester for Windows XP sp2, and today I got my Windows XP Sp2 RC1 cd, but it was broken, what can I do?? I don't know, cause it was free...

Maybe you can have a look HERE :)

Just to update you guys on SP2 status:

Apparently they're at 2103 internally and the builds are going into "RC2 release stage" whether that means there will be an official release candidate 2 remains to be seen but they might release it as "XP SP2 RC1 refresh" or something similar. Who knows. Just thought you'd like to know :)

has anyone gotten the Data Execution Prevention(DEP) enabled yet with SP2?

On both of my pcs the option to enable is grayed out and the reason stated at the bottom of the dialog box is as follows "Due to hardware design,your computers processor does not support DEP software".

Anyone else seeing the samething here or is it another feature not enabled yet like the feature to recognize the anti virus software?

Thank You in advance for your replies :p

Make sure you have a AMD64 cpu for that to work it will be greyed out if you don't have one.

You need a processor that supports it to enable it. :yes:

you got me wrong, the reason I use for large word, it is for attract some attention. that's all buddy.

Use colors instead/bold/itallic...

I can't imagine if everyone tries to catch some attention like you do maybe I have to scroll down 10 minutes before actually reach the end of the thread...

Good day

    • 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."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
