                          (b.t.w. you should read SP2's release notes and config your firewall)

                                      Installed it last Wednesday on my laptop (desktop runs on Win2K). No proplems at all. Had to tweak the wireless settings a bit, but that was it.

                                      Had me worried cause I needed the laptop for Vegas, but all was fine. McAfee, email, browsers, and the like.

                                          same words i told myself when Microsoft released the patch since day one.

                                          best advise, give it 2 months max before you install

                                                  No Services (under Administrative Tools) at all are being started.
                                                  Seems like therefore nothing is working anymore. Anyone has had this problem too and knows how to solve it ?

McAfee did pop-up complaining that XP's new Security Center was trying to take over so I told McAfee to keep handling that functionality. All apps working, no crashing, nothing.

So its about 1 out of 10 getting fucked up. From a Q&A standpoint that is attrocious.

                                                                              And on another note, has anyone figured out a code to beat the SP2 pop up blocker?

Very nice for my employees tomorrow. This is gonna be a terrible short night again. I even can't uninstall any programs because all services don't start when windows starts. No fucking chance to uninstall SP2. Not even in Safe Mode.

On desktop I re-installed Vegas 4, on laptop he starts after "debug", I'm too lazy to re-install him on laptop so everytime when I start prog I need to "debug" him in order to start... And one more thing, in both cases OS is installed on NTFS...

This had to do woth file permission settings on the C drive. After I changed the settings to Everyone (full access) windows was working again. Very strange because WinXP was working without any problems with the settings which I had before.
