I installed XP SP2 this morning with out any problems. I did my homework prior to loading the update. I recommend that folks visit Microsoft's 'Knowledge Base' support sight and search on XP SP2 before loading the update. After the list comes up, look for the Knowledge Base article that talks to applications that the service pack may have problems with.
I had one application, Norton's AV 2003, that would have a problem with its auto update function. Since I had recently paid for a new one year subscription of Norton's virus updates, I turned the auto function off prior to loading the service pack. I noticed a 'quicker' running machine after installing the service pack. I also run ZoneAlarm Pro ver 5 firewall. Before loading the service pack I downloaded and installed the latest software update for this application (needed for SP XP2). I had no problems with this application after installing XP SP2. I have not had any problems with Dxbase 2005 running under XP SP2. The reports look great......... So far I am pleased with the machine's operation after loading SP2; knock on wood. Ron ....

Windows XP Svc Pack 2 -- Joe wa6axe Hi Joe, I'm using XP Pro Svc Pack 2 on 3 computers and have experienced no problem on any. On my Station computer I'm running Norton System Works and Internet Security w/o any problem. I am going to switch to the Svc Pack 2 Firewall when I get some time. I'll let you know how it works. I run DXBase 2005, MMTTY, and WriteLog also w/o problem and the machine is very stable. I think it must be settings. I made many changes after I installed it and before using applications. The only problem I encountered is my computer at work has a 1gbps network card and it wouldn't funnel down to 100mbps without going real real slow. I installed a hub and that solved that problem. 73, Art W2NRA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph Glockner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "DXbase reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 25, 2004 10:36 PM Subject: [Dxbase] Off-Topic ...
