The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

Can SP2 Lock out legit users of xp pro retail Academic.

Reason i ask is because i just brought it on friday

Nope, SP2 simply checks the Key against a list which are known to be fake. The same way as SP1 did. SP2 will work fine on your legally owned copy.

Well as of right now I use Zone Alarm - I have a Physical Router too of-course!!! I meant the crappy Shareware that I installed to Block Pop-ups and stuff since they are REALLY ANNOYING & IE 6 doesn't currently have a Pop-up Blocker Built in.

For all the folks out there that think that I Hate Microsoft, I need to correct you - I DO NOT Hate Microsoft. I just like to poke a little fun at them every now and again when I think they are heading in the wrong direction. Just a little honest criticism from a Customer - Thats all!!! I just get Frustrated and need to release some steam every now and then!

First I find out that by the time XP SP2 gets finalized and released it will be a TOTAL RECOMPILE of Windows XP (Hence it pretty much is a Brand New Operating System). Now I am reading that SP2 will update both HOME & PRO systems. That people are also noticing a Boost in thier System Performance - Well hats off to Microsoft - its proof that they are at least "Working it" - "Massaging the Code" and such! Like I said before - SP2 should be the best release of the "Client" version of Windows to date - No Doubt :D

:no: Show off eh?

BTW, IBM Security Chip is still failing in the 2126. And, yes..MS has fixed their issues with OE inserting smilies

So has anyone found anything wrong with 2126? I managed to find it via a torrent download :p . I agree with your view mr Os kid i think its because of all these pirate copy (nearly everyone has one) that activation was introduced and its good to see sp 2 cannot be installed without a legitimate key.

Is there anyone that has got bluetooth filetransfer to work with mobilephones?

fooling around with SP2 RC1 and my SE T630

Sorry mate, only just spotted this post. I have an SE T610 and installing the Bluetooth drivers for my dongle was a 'mare. Found New Hardware wizard was in a constant loop, installing multiple devices on com4. After the third attempt, I cancelled the install, deleted the 'extra devices' from Dev Man, rebooted, & to my surprise, when I plugged the dongle in it installed the drivers and worked first time. Apart from the install issue, I've had no problems, synching with Outlook works fine & files transfer as they should.

What problems are you having?

How did you get your phone to sync with outlook?

Well here's something http://www.gamehouse.com/collapse/ <---- I just downloaded the trial & it worked fine in sp1 but when I upgraded to SP2 2026 it wouldnt work no error no nothing I even trired reinstalling yup still nothing.

p.s yes I tried Comp mode.

did you adjust your setting for pop ups?

did you adjust your setting for pop ups?

How can pop ups make the difference of the program installing or not? he mist have already downloaded the setup program anyway! Maybe it just isnt compatible with SP2, you can try upgrading to SP2 2126 im not telling you where u can get it from i think your just best of sticking with SP1.

hey did you go to the site and try it? if you did before you posted you will see that you will receive a pop up thus my post about pop up settings

thank you :angry::

oh yeah my guess is it`s not the service pack buld that`s the problem here it`s the setting :rofl::

I dont think you understand I've downloaded the trial it's downloaded & installed but when you try to run it you dont get anything no error no nothing. I want to buy the game for my sis *she plays it online* Now it works fine in sp1 but I upgraded to SP2 2126 & it doesnt work. I've reinstalled still no dice I've even run it in campabity mode *sorry for my spelling kinda in a rush*.

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
