*img46.exs.cx/img46/2590/props.jpg

but i have been receiving msgs frm microsoft thru auto update that sp2 needs to be installed .

*img37.exs.cx/img37/2614/prop1.jpg

now why is that ??

What you have there is still a build

Service Pack 2, v 2149.

When the full version for consumer releases by 16th Sep. you will only see Service pack 2.

Since it is downloading some of the updates it will show SP2. I think you will just need 75 MB more to download. I suggest just wait till the full comsumer release comes out

what about the sp2 in september issue ? should i install that or wait till the 16th of september?

 

[nipun_the_gr8]

Hey ! leech, is XP SP2 in the Sep. issue of digit full or it is justa build ???

 

[theraven]

if the cd says rc anywhere then its just a build ...
the final release of sp2 is build 2600
and the final is very much out ...

yes i have the xp2 loaded on my machine (and on 20 machines in our lab) i got the cd from microsoft. it is good and till now i have had only one problem this was that when we had enabled zone alarm to auto load at boot time there seemed that a type of deadlock occured and the pc would hang once we removed zone alarm from autoload the machines are working perfectly.

 

[theraven]

probably zonealarm 5.09.045
theres an issue with sp2
upgrade .. should be fine
