My you are on a role aint you :p lol

Now, now, steady on... lol

@blueshirt

You mean the neowin multipatcher? That's for XP Gold & SP1/1a. If you need a patched uxtheme.dll for any of the SP2 builds check out the link I posted above ;) They aren't backwards compatible with XP Gold or SP1 though.

can someone confirm whether tbe new SP2 RC2 has the antivirus detection working properly

Cheers

That depends on what AV you have. I can confirm it's working fine with AVG. There's still problems with NAV (just check some of the other posts in the beta forum) Haven't seen any reports with regard to other AV's though

lol, just seen your edit, so I guess I answered your question ;)

Don't want to sound a prat, but a folder appeared in my C: drive - "6f2f02f404cfa9933be8f7d4f5b216f0" - can I uninstall this, as it seems to be linked to SP2, or at least rename the bloody thing ? Should't it have been in the temp at least ? :unsure:

Further update on this - theres THREE of them. All large. :unsure:

Update - deleted them, rebooted, no problem. Still puzzled what they were and why they appeared in C: ?

Phil K, before you installed RC2 were you using SP1?

I had reformatted and installed SP1 with all updates which included the 3 folders that have SP2 in them(different number id then mentioned) and now am curious if it is ok to delete them?

TIA :)

No dont delete them its where all the important updates go, look on the add/remove programs and if ur running sp1 ul notice it goes on about sp2 hotfixes, note the link ;)

new bug in RC2, mcaffee home edition used to work now after I updated my virus definitions "virusscan synchronization service" crashes on both manual execute and boot up. (worked in RC1)

vsmain.exe refuses to run, so something changed after RC1 has broke mcaffee anti virus.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.

      Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
