And, in fact, Micorosft does not recommand users to use more than 1 firewall as no firewalls are compatible with any other firewalls. If you are experiencing problems using any softwares with the built-in firewall enabled, the reason may be that you are using more than 1 firewall -- and if you don't like it, just disable it. Don't blame SP2 for making your softwares unusable.

And, I don't think it's SP2's problem... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karlo 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2005 So far, I think Windows XP SP2 is the fastest service pack ever! And stable!First, install windows xp without any service packpartition your drive for the virtual memory, i partition another drive 1 gbthen i set the virtual memory or paging file on that drive only and 1000 mb for initial and 1000 mb for maximum.then i restarted my pc.then installed windows xp sp2after that search for the internet on how to disable those annyoing low disk space message. or popup balloons.

Dazed 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2005 Don't get SP2! Wow...if you can at all avoid it, do. Before I got SP2 (even with XP), my computer NEVER crashed...or did so maybe once every 3 months. Now it does it regularly (with SP2). And the firewall is a completely different story. It limits connections that can be established by P2P software (at least the kind that I have, which isn't cool), and it blocks stupid stuff like Firefox! I mean...that's a freaking browser, and it gets blocked! Argh...I hate it. And I've read tons of stuff that says that SP2 just makes your computer more vunerable to attacks. If it wasn't for PCCillin'...I would probably be in big trouble. 39303[/snapback] Wow, I haven't had a problem with SP2. If anything I think it helped, but from reading what you guys posted..i have no idea if im just having some GOOD luck or what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
