As I said before, when clicking on Save or Open, IE shuts completely down. Before I had WinZip Pro, I use to use the Windows, but some how lost it...Now with SP2 it has come back and is unstable.

I have found several situations elsewhere on the Internet, with no reply on how to fix the problem.

....Ohhh well, hopefully the error reports sent, will bring an Update.

BTW...The Skin I am using is Xanth by essorant found Here

Can i ask you guys a question ?

About SP2, i've read all about the pirated keys and all that ....

How does Microsoft find a pirate keys ? Is it true that all "640" keys work ? ( The 3 digits after the first 5 )

or are they finding the pirates in another way ?

Not all 640 keys work. If you change your PID somwhere to 640 and reverse it to make it key it won't accept it. And then there are some key gens that produce valid 640 keys. In either case my guess is that Microsoft just checks every so often in and around for key gens and blacklist them. Or maybe some how through Windows Update they check your key :whistle:.

but then what if you have a corporate xp with a LEGIT cdkey from your original? :p

Well then if you got a legit corp/vlk key then you're good to go. But remember XP Home & Professional keys can not be used on a VL Edition/Corp and vice versa. ;) And the Windowsbeta site is up for me :p

I'm guessing, that you are using an illegal windows XP Key.

If thats so, then go buy a copy. They won't be learning keys, but if you have an illegal one... You won't be allowed to update.

I think it will be a part of the "Reloaded" campaign.

Quote from Paul Thurrott's WMP10 review

WMP 10 sits at the core of Microsoft's upcoming "Windows XP Reloaded" marketing campaign, which will try to reignite consumer excitement in Windows XP this fall by touting a number of consumer-oriented improvements to the base Windows platform. Other components of XP Reloaded, like Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 ("Symphony"), the Media Center Extenders, and Portable Media Centers, will build on, and require, WMP 10. So this product needs to include certain new features in order to support those other products.

Perfect thing to bring more attention to Windows XP if you ask me... just a guess though.

I just installed SP2 RC2 (XP Home), everything is working just fine, except for one thing. After the logon screen it takes an extra 30 seconds or so to load the apps I have that start up (Zone Alarm, Norton, Winamp, Yzdock). It's like there are more things loading or something. But after that it runs normal again. Any ideas?

yes; dont have so many things load at startup!!

Norton is this biggest bloatware of all; if you have the xp firewall enabled, which it probably did by default, your zone alarm load is un-necessary, winamp doesnt need to load on "statup", and so on..

you can disable some services also, but if you don't know what you are doing, don't bother with that...

      I just want to know why the volume control feature in the browser version keeps appearing then disappearing, here today - gone tomorrow. Now it's gone again. Annoying as hell.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology, it’s actually a container, not a VM that is being started by the way. There were users on macOS reporting the same issue, Hyper-V, doesn’t exist on that platform obviously. Every single user who confirmed the problem in the last week was either using macOS making this issue impossible to be relevant to them, or was a comment talking about WSL, which the author indicated 3 months ago was disabled.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.
