I have one more question and I realy don't want to read the whole topic again... :s

My gf's laptop needs to be totally cleaned up (I'll do a data backup and reformat the HDD) and I'd like to reinstall Windows XP with a slipstreamed SP2. From what I've heard before the SP2 would be release in the 1st week of August, right? If that's true I can wait a few more weeks before cleaning the laptop, however if it isn't going to be released until September I'll install WinXP SP1 with the updates seperatly. What do you people think? Should I wait and hope it's going to be released in august(1st week) or should I clean it up now and install SP2 later (don't realy want to do that, but the laptop needs some cleaning very soon).

Well it's not falling apart but it's terribly slow. Actually they have 2 laptops which are almost the same, and we had to switch everything (using Nortong ghost images) because of a hardware problem. Even though both hardware configs were very much both same it wasn't very succesfull. So I'll have to rebuild the whole system. Everything works, but it's just soooo slow. They can wait a few more weeks but I don't think more than a month...

maybe you should have run the install switch (I wish I could remember what it is already) that you can run so on next reboot, it detect again every piece of hardware (it kind of start the setup process but only for the hardware). This way, you don't have any hardware problem. Also, a ghostwalk might help.

Ah right, ive just never heard of that happening :) Iif its legit im sure its unlikely

Yeah I actually didn't have any problem. Didn't even get asked to reactivate again.

Running smoothly here, though for some reason my mouse scrolling is....weird...I'd report it as a bug, but since I'm not a "real" tester I don't think I should lol

when ever i got to windows update, a download box comes up asking wether to save or open the file v5track.bin, what should i do.

i meant to this guy... maybe he is using some starnge browser which isnt IE so he gets a download dialogue as its not supported or something. Have done it myself with firefox by accident, but i didnt get a download dialogue. Thats why i put "supid question"

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
