Kenny McCormick Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 If you have any virtual CD drives you have to disable them. If that dosen't work uninstall the virtual CD program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockwiz Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroup...=xpsp2&slcid=us Click on announcements, and read the first couple threads to see what Mike Brannigan has to say about this supposed release... Untrue and inaccurate. The next public release is the RTM. -- Regards, Mike -- Mike Brannigan [Microsoft] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzykotic Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I'm an SP2 tester and I work for an OEM. There was no such announcement ever made. Whoever made the announcement was a jokester trying to mess with people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

traxx Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com Think you read his post backwards, he wants to use v4, not v5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kainashi Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 just change the 5 to a 4 then, that should revert it back. i read it backwards the first time too. :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redestium Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Will limited user accounts be able to have automatic updates run? It doesn?t currently allow this under SP1, which is kind of ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic2k Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 @Mav Phoenix I dont think it will under sp2 with a limited account i just tried it and i couldnt see the autoupdates tab but i can under a computer admin account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
