i liked widows update v5 and the ie popup blocker was good ,i was able to install new updates to this update as well as other driver updates but i remain critical because when i was done this destroyed my original win xpsp1 performance and i will say it again sp2 was as buggy as windows me ,lets push on to not only better security but better overall performance without regressing. im testing windows 9x security cd as well and i am impressed with this cd of updates.

well back to sp1, installed it yesterday had quite a few lockups and vpu recovers i didnt have before sp2, i restart today and i get "msgina.dll not found" in a dialog box with restart as the only option, so i formated and reinstalled, i dunno what they guy claiming you have to zero out the drives is talking about, all i did was boot and do the normal reinstall.

There do seem to be a number of Bugs in this current release, that is why this is BETA software and not a RTM version. As long as we all go on reporting them, I am sure Microsoft will fix them before BETA2.

Leebobs

(With Stable SP2 installation) :unsure:

I installed it and now get a blue screen , can't start PC anymore *

ow well..

Im just thinking if Microsoft has some RTM products that are not so stable as they should :yes: , you should think a bit before installing an alpha or beta one, since already I have seen some idiots that have screwed their system installing Longhorn without knowing a bit about system requirements.

It doesnt worth it :ninja:

9x update cd arrived 2 weeks ago ,i have several machines so i can test various beta's, as for xp sp2 i have a serial ata western digital raptor 36 gig hard drive maybe thats why i had to write zero,s when reformating over xp sp2 ,i always prefer to clean my drives completely on new installs or those errors occur..

I was thinking along the same lines but the system needed reformatting anyway.

I think the install file was for the 64bit ver. of windows instead of the 32bit ver. The file wasn't named correctly unfortunatly , anyways.... we learn from mistakes... ;)

A better way to test it would have been to use virtual PC or never to install it in the first place and wait for the final ver.

Yeah Longhorn has quite along way to go before it becomes anywhere near finished, I agree.
