Are YOU ready for SP2 ?
 

I'm suprised the sponsors haven't started changing programs yet.

There isnt many ways around the built in popup blocker. ( infact none that i could find )

But there is another way ( i may release a public version soon , but its worth to much $$ right now )

Anyone interested in getting the sp2 final ??

DOWNLOAD IT HERE

But be prepared its about 250 mb

It is the SP2 consumer version?

Interesting

when was this version released?

I tried it about 2 weeks ago and it didn't work on my machine...friggin blue screen on start up...good thing for go back

That one was glitchy , this one is a final.

If you get into troubles just go into safe mode with command prompt run the uninstall sp2

mr cool hacker! go find those sploits smokey. :1orglaugh

did you have to reinstall xp to fix the blue screen problem?

More and more mainstream sites are going to a streaming-like graphic popup. Not sure whats its called but not even google bar or sp2 can stop the fucker. Guess the adult industry will have to adopt that in the near future to make sure that they can continue to make money from popups. But what the fek do I know? im a n00b :1orglaugh

Im sure some flaws will be found in it. Just give it some time.

People will always find a workaround.. :glugglug

Nope..just used Norton Go back and it was back to normal...thank god

I just installed this version on a small 11 computer network, we only ran into problems with one of them.

Thing to do before install:

1. Turn on System Restore

2. Turn off updates

Fix your sig.


And yes sp2 stops popups. All of them.

What kind of problems

never played with system restore, how does it work? when a system gets into problems/blue screen it restored last workable configuration?
you think if i won't turn system restore on and run into problems with the sp2 i could just reinstall windows?

Faulted part way thru install and wouldn't load windows.

Uninstall solved the problem.. Wait for reply from MS before i try it on that machine again

only a matter of time before our russian friends hack that apart ;)


yaaay, I can't wait...I can't stand Bill....


dictating how we can market to our surfers or not...

it generally asks you if it encounters an error or prompt's you if you load in "safe mode" (f8)

You can always do that :) but thats the worst case scenario in any option

another thing i noticed, it seems to block video files running in windows media player from popping up an aquire license link.

windows 3.11 workstation owns.

Downloading right now @ 600kb sec :)

Canadians have fast speeds :)

Who is your provider ?

so is the new browser available standalone, or just thru XP SP2?

Not that it matters but . . .

Whats wrong with my sig? Works fine here

No stand alone, and with the way its integrated into Windows I doubt there ever will be

if you get the urge to install SP2,
step away from the machine,
have a good stiff drink and sit quitely.
the feeling will pass.

Cool, there are still a decent amount of none XP users oyt there :)

Why the hell didnt you say something BEFORE I installed it? Spent an hour resetting up my network settings and reinstalling my DSL modem after that shit the other nite. Seems to be ok now tho. :helpme

Hmm im thinking bout getting a second xbox and seeing if I can hack it to run Linux on it. Think it would work?? :1orglaugh

2. Signature rules. Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of default size and color.
New as of 1/1/2003: if your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 468x60 instead of a 120x60. Yes there is a reason this is so big. Also putting your text in a cell and making it look like a button is against the rules. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

I think I'll download this when it's on the Windows Update page:2 cents:

Hi Smokey....

the pop-up blocker is enabled by default?

Yes s is the firewall and auto-update

i will be unaffected muahahahha :glugglug

I'll wait untill I have my current work results uploaded. I have a feeling SP2 will fuck up a thing or two, but I am definately getting it, for the working WPA support alone.

Got me a wireless router a few weeks ago and had to find out that old XP doesn't fully support WPA yet (SP2 does). And I didn't want to use WEP encryption so every 15 yo. can look into my harddrive and where I am surfing at

I installed it few days ago, it apears pretty solid...
no problems at all so far... :thumbsup

when you first run the sp2 it will popup a window asking to set your security

It has 4 things i think

firewall

auto-update

popup blocker

system restore

they are all checked by default..

I installed it two days ago with no problems at all. Machine runs a bit faster especially while web browsing and no, and I mean absolutely no popups or dialer installs.

I have had it for about 2 months now.


I FUCKING HATE IT!!!

Everything is a fucking Active-x control or Popup


I cant download anything from download.com

It's a bitch and a 1/2 to disable the popup blocker and you have to physicaly enable active-x controls or else it wont work...

Boom the next reboot it's back on again.

I can't even go to suntrust.com and download my xml spread sheets

Says possible active-x control.

sounds like firefox :2 cents: :Graucho

Give me few days :winkwink:

It will be just a matter of time till the holes are found.

I heard that some programs don't work with it.

That MS scrificed compatability for security.

All my programs are working except one..

And curiously enough it happens to be made by microsoft itself..

Its my networking microsoft wireless broadband, its not part of windows but it is made by microsoft..

i sail short sp2 exploits. $50 for popup code, $20 for active x code, $20,000 for autoloading of spyware code.

i sail the seven seas of the world

Smokey, i cant install SP2 cause windows gives me "Invalid Activation Key" error. Yes, its warez.

Any way around that ?
