MicroZombies Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Is anybody having any major problems with SP2 Build 2120 or is it Smooth Sailing - just curious - I downloaded it and I am trying to figure out if I should install it or wait for RC2. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 seems to work ok, but it didn't fully detect zone alarm as a firewall and the same with AVG as anti virus, you will know what I am on about when you see the new security centre. I have only used the os lightly so far but it seems to hold up with no instability. I noticed it was very very fast, I did a integrated install tho so I put the speed down to having a fresh windows install without a ton of hotfixes.

Bizkit Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 Does anyone have the reg file to get the version number off the desktop? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroZombies Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 It figures. It looks like Microsoft is trying to push out the 3rd Party Manufactures of Firewall & Anti-Virus & Pop-Up/Spam/ADware Blocker Software. That is OK - I think that stuff should be Integrated into Windows anyhow - it is more Convenient that way - So long Zone Alarm & other crappy Shareware - It was nice knowing you!!! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhobo4 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 on one of my pc`s running XP Home and SP2 2096 when using extract all option for a zip file it seems to perform very fast but on my second pc with the SP2 2096 XP Home and using the extract all onj zip files it is very very slow. Went bask to SP1 on the second PC and it works fine now.This is a very new PC with 1.5 gigs of ram so am very puzzled why this is happening. Anyone hear of this during the beta of SP2 and care to share it with me? TIA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhobo4 Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 actually I enjoy beta testing and discovered that it teaches alot about a pc other wise would never have stumbled upon did a google search and someone had already posted the bug so maybe in the next RELEASE it will have been addressed.
