[Dutchy]

and some other installs..

i tryed downloading the files again but still its not working

You could check the Microsoft website concerning SP2.

There's a list of programs wich won't work properly with SP2.

if you would really read all the article, you would see that it says that it wont work if you use Windows Firewall, which i didn't used.

@Dutchy

This may seem like an odd question to start with... but...

What antivirus are you using?

[Dutchy]

i'm not using any antivirus

the only things i got installed is my audio driver (Cmedia 97), my ATI CAT driver, .NET, SQL 2000 SERVER (the problem was there even before i had it), and some games

Good to know

Anyways, antivirus like McAfee are fine. Regular updates. I'd recommend Norton Antivirus, but I think it's on the black list by microsoft

Blacklist??????

what do you mean???

there is a Serial Number list of the Windows XP on the blacklist.

but why do you think NAV is on the blacklist of Microsoft?

but why do you think NAV is on the blacklist of Microsoft?

I think he/she wanted to say that NAV is one of the apps that would lose functionality under SP2!

What I want to say is SP2 must be blacklisted by users who have similar apps.

Hi,

I had the same problem with a downloaded file, it would not install, but I went at it a different way, rather than saving the download file, I clicked on open and it downloaded and installed without a problem. Why the difference, who knows, after all, this is microsoft *smile*.

Oops.. foregot about this thread..

@Dutchy, ever figure it out?

Also, reason I asked as far as AntiVirus as there is a bit of a install problem with Avast (I use) and sp2 that prevent InstallShield isntlallers in particulair from running. This is weather or not the windows installer is messed up or not (also common to sp2).
