I've installed Office 2003 in a small network/office setting using the ORK and tried to relax the attachment blocking settings using various tweaks and registry hacks found by googling and whatnot. I ran into a situation with how Lookout (er, Outlook) handles Access File attachments that drove me crazy. What I found was this: you could put Word, Excel, PP attachments in the Level 2 category (allowed to open from Lookout). However, no matter what I did (including putting it in Level 2 and various registry hacks) for Access file extensions attachments, I couldn't open them in Lookout (I got the red security box). My only option was to save it somewhere on the HD, then open it from there. Since I didn't need to do this with other attachment types, I think this is really a stupid design by MS, unless there is a way around it. I would think that this is the kind of thing that would generate a lot of help desk calls in a large company, so I can't believe MS would be so stupid, but who knows, the security holes in Outlook have been bad for a long time, maybe they went too far in the other direction. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks, Jim

Thanks, Homie. For clarification, once I replace the dll, I can run XPCreate, or do I need to manually create CDROOT files (slipstream SP2 into the original CD, then run XPCreate) which kind of defeats the purpose, but it would still create an ISO I could burn with SP2 integrated. I've tried other methods and they give me the same error. Jim

Ok, I searched again and found this: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showfo...last_post&st=75 I am doing this on a W2K box, seems you can't do this (at least it's not supported). Bummer. There isn't a workaround? Jim

Sorry if this has been posted before, I searched in the forum and didn't find anything. I've downloaded XPCreate, installed it in a directory called XPCreate. I am using a Vol. Licence XP SP1 CD for source. I've put XP SP2 in the \XPCreate\SPACKS. XPCreate runs and creates the ISO. However, when it gets to the SP2 integration process, the extraction happens, and then I get an update.exe has crashed error, a log has been generated (but XPcreate keeps going, reporting a sucessful integration). SP2 is NOT integrated into the CD Source, even though XPCreate reports that it has (I have checked the ISO, and the files are not dated October 2004, but 2003). I've put it in the root directory and created an i386 folder, none of which seems to have fixed the problem. If there is another forum thread where this issue has been posted and resolved, please post it. Thanks, Jim
