do we have to patch the uxtheme.dll, I have never patched it before??

[Roger H. Veteran]

guess i already found a bug :D

With PocketPCs of all... the new "Portable Media Player" doesn't read the folders right or something and this is what you get....

Maybe an updated activesync is needed

[Olsenius]

is there any way to disable winxp firewall, and remove the annoying icon on the task bar?

[NeoXY]

wait...I'm confussed....I have Build 2600 right now.....is that the offical build?

[valhalla_rk]

No, this is the build of WinXP pro Corp.

enter the Explorer (not IE)-> Help -> About.

the Official Build of SP2 is 2800.

[NeoXY]

oh................so when can I get 2800?.....the 25th on Windows Update?

[hggouzgf]

^possible bug? i have the same tab twice :wacko:

[weela]

I'm getting an installation error

"An error occurred while copying file unicdime.im_.

Cannot copy file to destination directory"

Although the file it?s installing when this happens is unicdime.ime

Highly annoying, any suggestions?

Hello,

Have any of you guys notice a speed decrease with it? I just installed it and now it takes like 10 secs. to open a program. I have a brand new computer. Whats up with this?

That's what I feel whenever an update is posted in windowsupdate.

Does SP2 contain a .NEt installation?

After i installed sp2 i defragged my reg and boot drive.

this may help m8

[Mike Frett]

Hmmm, I havn't defragged or anything yet after a fresh install and it the os still feels pretty snappy even with: "Diskeeper has completed analysis of this volume and found 2668 fragmented files and/or directories and 9277 excess fragments".

I bet once I start installing those 1GB+ games it'll start slowing down, even with a defrag.

[derekivey]

I did a defrag last night and it's fine now. It is pretty fast.

Can someone show me how to uninstall SP2 v1185 from my computer in order to install the new SP2, please? Thanks in advance.

[Vester_]

Uninstall the old SP2 using Add or Remove Programs (Start > Control Panel). When you have SP2 downloaded, open the file and it will install.

Does SP2 contain a .NEt installation?

No it doesnt contain a .NET installation (.NET Framework). There was an installation for it with SP1 but a diff folder on the CD, its probably the same with the SP2 cd which i still havnt recieved.
