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

wow what sems to be up with someone finding a link using google?

no link posted no crack no key generators and as a matter of fact this 2126 build is rumored to have been leaked on purpose like all of the other non official leaks.

so really no show off here just using the google search or maybe that`s showing off!!! :no: :yes: :no: :yes: :woot:

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?

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.

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*.

    • I do trust Apple probably more than these other companies with certain data, but I also do think (and it has been demonstrated that) Apple pulls a lot of shenanigans and always has for a long time.
    • Does your iPhone support the latest iOS version? Here's the iOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari It's that time of year when we get to know about the latest operating system updates for Apple devices. For iPhone, Apple previewed the iOS 27 update at WWDC 2026, where the company finally introduced an upgraded version of Siri. Apple typically supports iPhone models for up to five years. But it has been making exceptions in recent years (read iPhone 11). If you're wondering whether your iPhone is compatible with the iOS 27 update, here is the official list of devices: iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone 17e, iPhone Air iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16e iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 iPhone SE (2nd generation), iPhone SE (3rd generation) So, you can download the iOS 27 developer beta on up to 31 different iPhone models. There has been no change to the list of supported iPhones since iOS 26. However, it will expand to include more devices when the iPhone 18 series arrives later this year. To download the developer beta on your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Beta Updates. Here, select "iOS 27 Developer Beta" from the list of choices to get the new update. In addition to iOS 27, you can try the developer beta versions of macOS 27, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and HomePod software 27 on your supported devices. iOS 27 comes with improved Liquid Glass, which you can adjust using a new transparency slider. Apple said during the keynote that iPhone apps now launch up to 30% faster, new photos appear in the Photos app up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers work up to 80% faster. The new update promises to improve performance on older iPhones by introducing a new CPU Scheduler that supports devices all the way back to the iPhone 11. While iOS 27 is supported on older iPhones, it goes without saying that they'll lack several features due to hardware differences. For instance, iPhone 14/14 Plus and older models come with a notch instead of the Dynamic Island. Similarly, Apple Intelligence features are supported on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and later models.
    • The Radeon RX 9070 XT is right up there with the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
    • I don't know why someone said useless, but it does have that pesky kernel driver bundled, and it's in perennial turmoil. When it goes bad, it goes very bad, and it's impossible to predict when it will due to system differences. I know that they're in the middle of development for a major new version that will include a completely new driver, one that they expect will largely solve the problem, but that's a ways out and it's unproven at this point.
    • doesn't AdGuard let ads through that pay to be let through?
