I've installed it on 5 machines here at home and 3 at work. SP2 is nice, has some nice new features, and works fine. Kim Komando mentioned some apparent problems with the Service Pack on her program this morning. She mentioned something about it being in her newsletter or on her site. www.komando.com dxAce Service pack 1 looked for known pirated keys, and disabled systems it found with them. It's very likely SP2 does this as well, and is probably more sophisticated at determining whether or not a serial number is bogus. Beyond that, some programs use "illegal" entry-points into various WinXP processes, and these hooks may have changed with the new service pack. That's why a lot of malware and spyware makes it crash -- some of those programs actually replace MS system files with altered ones. -- Stinger |
