I must say that they've worked magic on IE. For me, it's many times faster than on SP1. Firefox is now getting some real competition.

Good job, Redmond fellas.

I hope that I didn't confuse anyone. If you still look it up - it will say 5.1.2600 (As in Still Windows XP) - but do me a Favor & open Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer or Outlook Express & check out the Program Version Numbers using the "About" menu item. Ah there she is: "6.0.2900.2180_XPSP_SP2_RTM" - and guess what I used to have a lot of Problems with Windows Explorer Crashing on me all the time - So Far it has only Crashed on me Once - But hey I an still Breaking the OS in!!! I like how MS Fixed up Internet Explorer & Outlook too! I think that I will continue to use IE - But I am going to Switch E-mail Clients!!!! :woot:

am i able to replace the uxtheme.dl_ file in the extracted SP2 with the *fixed* uxtheme.dll (renaming it to uxtheme.dl_) and install no problems?

does anyone know if when you upgrade to SP2, it automatically forces you to go to WindowsUpdate 5?

and for thsoe that it does.... if you have a illegal cd=key... does it let you use it? (i'm thinking no?)

Yup.

I updated to WU5 before SP2 and it didn't let me use the key, but once I updated SP2 (and it reinstalled WU5 anyway), it let me use it.

Someone could give me a link/dl for that TCP packet patch, please? :)

[alext5]

Is it available in french? I just went to MS website and even in english, it says that it's still not available for download so I was wondering if it has been released yet in french.

[valhalla_rk]

I installed the 2180 build two hours before it published by Microsoft.

i'm getting this title (in the "About windows")

Build 2600.xpsp_xpsp2_rtm.040803-2158: Service Pack 2

What should be written there?

My first Post :)

Hello Neowin!

From MS:

" Those using the English version of Windows will start receiving updates in the next few days, Microsoft said."

So, no other languages atm.

seems like some people had problems after installing sp2. :(
