scumdogmillionaire Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 remember when windows 2000 came out... ms released a small tool that analyzed your system to tell you what applications would cause problems. i wonder why there isn't something like that for sp2... just a thought.

Thats good, but it could be better if they managed it before. Why all these unexpected delays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurgelmeyer Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 About time :D They'll probably release W2K SP-5 soon as well (I hope) - I've noticed, that new driver updates for W2K usually appear on WU just before a new SP only. And what do ya know - there was an update for my graphics adapter available on August 1. It's just a strange theory of mine, and I haven't slept for 26 hours :x (so much for credability :lol:), but it hasn't failed ... yet :blink: - I better go to bed now :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver3 Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Anyone else experience the problem with SP2 where you click on the IE icon on the desktop and it does not recognize the click if the end of the pointer is in the middle of the 'e'. , specifically in the hole below the horizontal line of the 'e'? If that makes any sense. I have a system without SP2 and I can't get it to repeat the problem. (sounds serious, doesn't it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
