if you have the express install (where it downloads all of it) do you need to get a new copy each time a new version of the beta comes out, or will the one just grab the updated files?

nope... you have to uninstall the SP and get a new version.

well, I did a clean install...so couldn't I just install the express upgrade? Don't tell me I have to do another clean install :(

did u use that gamexp crap to tweak windows?

if so restore it to default settings via the app and all should be well.

I wasn't using Game XP but I have disabled a load of Services I don't normally use... I will turn them all back on and try again. Thanks

By the way, for people having ActiveX problems:

Set the following registry settings:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\explorer.exe = 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_LOCALMACHINE_LOCKDOWN\iexplore.exe = 0

Restart Internet Explorer

For people who are having networking problems when using filesharing-clients:

Completely disable the service for Internet Connection Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing Service. Because even when the Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP SP2 is disabled, the service is still enabled and blocking incoming en outgoing connections and udp broadcasts. You have to reboot your machine for the changes to have effect. Use a third party firewall instead.

Greetz,

@freakyfriday, are deaf man? Or just naturally rude? I asked how you enable the background intelligent transfer service to get WU 5.0 working again? I asked if it was enabled through the registry... Comprehendes?

To raid517:

If you now this little about the working of the OS, I don't think messing with beta soft is a good idea.

Just an opinion.

On topic:

It seems I can no longer avoid MS trying to send error messages.

I check the option "don't send", I tried it with several tweaking programs, ... no luck.

Anyone with the same problem?
