The SP2 Thread - Reloaded


Recommended Posts

I must say that they've worked magic on IE. For me, it's many times faster than on SP1. Firefox is now getting some real competition.

Good job, Redmond fellas.

I hope that I didn't confuse anyone. If you still look it up - it will say 5.1.2600 (As in Still Windows XP) - but do me a Favor & open Windows Explorer or Internet Explorer or Outlook Express & check out the Program Version Numbers using the "About" menu item. Ah there she is: "6.0.2900.2180_XPSP_SP2_RTM" - and guess what I used to have a lot of Problems with Windows Explorer Crashing on me all the time - So Far it has only Crashed on me Once - But hey I an still Breaking the OS in!!! I like how MS Fixed up Internet Explorer & Outlook too! I think that I will continue to use IE - But I am going to Switch E-mail Clients!!!! :woot:

does anyone know if when you upgrade to SP2, it automatically forces you to go to WindowsUpdate 5?

and for thsoe that it does.... if you have a illegal cd=key... does it let you use it? (i'm thinking no?)

Yup.

I updated to WU5 before SP2 and it didn't let me use the key, but once I updated SP2 (and it reinstalled WU5 anyway), it let me use it.

I installed the 2180 build two hours before it published by Microsoft.

i'm getting this title (in the "About windows")

Build 2600.xpsp_xpsp2_rtm.040803-2158: Service Pack 2

What should be written there?

My first Post :)

From MS:

" Those using the English version of Windows will start receiving updates in the next few days, Microsoft said."

So, no other languages atm.
