:DD Its getting there mate. Wow... There is a lot of stuff on the Internet about SP2... Most of which is rubbish I may add.

I have cleaned off a lot of the Rubbish about old builds from the front page, I have also added a few more external resources which review SP2 RC2.

Paul Thurrott - Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) FAQ (Updated for RC2)

Paul Thurrott - Windows XP SP2 with Advanced Security Technologies Review

Thanks for everyone's help in writing it.

I have just recently downloaded the SP2 RC2. Everything is running fine, except when I try to download from the Internet..ie WinCustomize. The new Download manager takes over, then Crashes IE. How can I remove the new manager to where I only use my WinZip 9.0

Hmm I've got a question.. Probably already been asked but lets be fair I can't be doing with reading 59 pages of this topic lol.. Anyways what exactly does SP2 include? Just so I don't try installing something that I shouldn't.. I.e. directx, wmp10, .net framework etc.. Any of them included?

seems mcafee virus pro 7.03 is ok but home v7 isn't, as it worked in RC1 could a beta tester report this or is there a public way to report?

This issue is known by microsoft already, do you mean the software doesnt work at all? If you mean in terms with the security centre it will be fixed in the final, mind u im sure this would be fixed too.

To report an issue do the following:

1) Go here http://windowsbeta.microsoft.com

2) Sign in using your .NET Passport

3) Click on Issue Reporting>Submit an Issue

4) Then you will see this link http://windowsbeta.microsoft.com/IssueRepo...ReportForm.aspx.

5) You can submit a form via that or download the MBC Microsoft Beta Client to submit issues to microsoft to report issues as soon as u find them:)

thanks I wll do so.

Yes home v7 fails to run once the virus defenitions are updated it just crashes, even on a reboot it will just crash right at startup, so its impossible to do any scanning. The app worked in RC1.

Pro seems ok however, but I don't know if this is because it is pro or it is a higher sub version.

I have a question, I have symantec antivirus corp 8.1 and it says it could not get information about my virus protection, will this be fixed?

Yes it will in the final :D It also depends on Symantec to update NAV and SAV Corp to work with the security centre :)

I'm sorry for not being clearer...Here is a pic of the download manager I receive when trying to download from a website.

Usually I would get WinZip after hitting a download link. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling of WinZip to no avail to get rid of (SP2 File download).

...After selecting OPEN it closes itself out without downloading.

...SAVE shuts down IE 6.0 all together.

well I have winzip and even in SP1 it has never automatically opened a zip file I have clicked on a webpage, so I am sure there is something you need to set to make it do so.
