My you are on a role aint you :p lol

Now, now, steady on... lol

btw, I notice you're from my neck of the woods, small world aint it?

@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

Dan

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.

    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      I agree, but that's the popular online opinion about them, so I followed it. I do think they have their point, no matter how combative they sound most of the time.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all by Taras Buria Over the last few months, Microsoft has been very busy fixing Windows 11 with features that users have been asking the company for a long time. An upgraded Start menu, the ability to change the taskbar position, new Windows Update features, and plenty more. However, not all changes are visible on the surface. Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users. The so-called "Low Latency Profile" is a special performance mode that aims to make Windows 11 snappier and more responsive. It boosts the processor clock speed to its maximum for a brief moment when rendering user interface elements or launching apps. As such, apps launch faster, and things like the Start menu or quick settings appear on the screen faster, although some are sceptical about it. Microsoft is not sharing many details about the new profile. The official release notes do not even mention it, with Microsoft only saying that the update "accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center." Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and unpack wherever convenient. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id:58989092 and press Enter. Restart your computer. After restarting your computer, launch Task Manager or any other hardware-monitoring software and check the processor clocks when opening the Start menu, Action Center, and more. Your processor should spike to its highest possible speed and then return to lower clocks. In addition to Low Latency Mode, the June 2026 Patch Tuesday update delivers additional features, such as multi-camera mode for apps (several apps can use a single camera stream), shared Bluetooth audio, improved Task Manager, and more.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I agree, especially with newer versions of MS Office supporting ODF documents, there isn't even a compatibility argument to be made. It should default to ODF on a clean install, with admin configurable options to make MS Office the default if that is desired.
    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Are they on crack at M$? Surely living on an alternative reality? A good dump of mine would run faster down the toilet if I did not flush it. But still looks better than this pile of slop. By the way, did they also comment on what's the next "functionality added"? Maybe you can improve it if you add even more stuff to this vomitware.
