The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

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"

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.

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
