I set it up it appeared to be a little slower than without the service pack. I will try using that sp-2 updated XP some more, but it appears slower, bogged down if you will.... :blink:

I also noticed it didn't recognize that I already had KerioPF and Norton AV. But I was able to get it to move past that, and accept that I did have existing security.

I dont think it has AV/firewall lists implemented yet. AFAIK, everything is undetected.

It appears that IE is sucking more CPU in this build than in SP1 and SP2 beta1. My laptop's CPU fan has come on twice today doing the same things I used to do without it ever coming on. Hopefully this will be fixed by final :angry:

Check running processes... Update.exe is sucking my CPU & Memory. Find the EVIL :devil: Program and report it to Microsoft!!

It turns out that the excessive CPU usage problems I was having were related to the Shockwave Add-On. When I had about 10 windows open, each with flash ads, my CPU usage was in the 80s.

I still don't get why that would happen with the newer build and not the older one.

god everything is so slow, i know its a beta and still in development stages and im not complaining. Someone told me that MS was aiming at may as a release date but at this rate umm.

:huh:

Its in beta stages, thats why its not out yet. And 99% of people don't experience significant slowdown.

i uninstalled... cant handle that Update.exe and IE crashing when Open New Window... and so many bugs... but i hope they all get fixed....

question... if they do get fixed... will they put it on the update thing for SP2 to download?

or will we have to wait for another release/?

:huh:

Isn't that for real! I just downloaded the new build and find that my system runs faster (I mean, I know that it's in beta stage still and there's bugs, but it's still much better than that last build that crashed my system)!

Yeah, I noticed that too. Its a breath of fresh air after having to scroll through oogles of updates on SP1.

Yeah that is true. I also noticed that it did it for Office 2003 as well. When I clicked on Office it listed the updates under it that I have installed. Pretty nice cleans up the add/remove rather good as well.

Another bug I found, hopefully someone can reproduce it and Flish can file it.

Put something really big in your recycle bin (something that'll make Empty Recycle Bin take at least a minute) and then Empty Recyle Bin. While its emptying, open some maximized program (like IE or Firebird) and then minimize it. The icons from the desktop will be gone until you either cancel the empty recycle bin command or until it finishes.

I don't think that is a bug.. Sounds to me more like the screen is slow to redraw b/c of all the file activity going on while emptying the recycle bin.
