The 3 main problems affecting my PC are:- 1: None of the "skinning" programs like Stardock or Winstep work. There is a patch available if you google for it. 2: tcpip.sys has been "fixed" to only allow 10 connections per port, which totally breaks most filesharing programs. Again a fix is available. 3: SP2 thinks the DivX 5.2 codec is a virus, but can be told otherwise. Once more, Google is yor friend. Most of the 200+ programs reported as not working under SP2 are acually OK, they're just blocked by the updated XP firewall until you tell it otherwise.
hmmm, i've had none of theose problems ^ I havn't really noticed the difference apart from patching norton antivirus...
SP2 seams to be bit random at the mo, i know people that have had no problems, and other that have had loads. i had major problems with the firewall and popup blocker to the point that the firewall was disabled as it was s**t even with rules setup. and the popup blocker blocked and continued to block once turned off and open window command, and the majority of active x games / funnies
have a look in the system log in event log (under administrative tools) for tcpip messages, if the 10 connections limit is kicking in it'll be logged tehre
No references to tcpip. But come to think of it i havent really downloaded anything substantial since installing it. Ill keep an eye on it, thanks.
