Just thought Iā€™d mention this here: Macromedia have their own support page for SP2 and Flash-related questions: [http://www.macromedia.com/support/service/servicepack2.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/service/servicepack2.html) Might answer some questionsā€¦ ---

I just installed SP2, and I noticed when you publish as preview (HTML) in MX 2004, it gives you a ā€œActive Contentā€ warning and makes you click and say ā€œAllow active contentā€ before you can see it. Not a big deal, just another MS annoyance. ---

You can disable that by going to Tools | Internet Options || Advanced. Scroll down and check the box for ā€œAllow Active Content to run in files on My Computerā€ šŸ™‚ ---

After I installed sp2 on my laptop, I have problems especially with my internet connection, often time if my laptop goes hybernate then i log back in, I couldnā€™t connect to the internet [I have disabled zone alarm pro]. The only solution is to restartā€¦ [now Iā€™m glad to have afast notebook]. However my desktop pc seems ok and doesnt has this probelm at all. I also have a problem connecting to my webserver from dreamweaver I donā€™t know why. Also on my pc desktop, using photoshop cs, everytime I hit ctrl+alt+shift+S [save as web] I have to wait for 5 seconds before the dialog box pops up. 5 secs sound nothing, but itā€™s getting annoying if youā€™re really in a hurry. ---

when you go into hybernate xpsp2 shuts down internet, then reopens it once you come back - dreamweaver webserver problem has to do with the firewall settings and the ports dreamweaver uses. the photoshop problem, unless you can find it somewhere is not related. ---

turn off windows updates šŸ™‚ and downloading songs? donā€™t need to be doing that anyways šŸ˜‰ \_seriously people if you install this thing you need to read it - the security center is thoroughly explained at installation and online about windows update running and ports in the firewall ---

Funny, Iā€™ve only heard nasty things about this until I read this thread. A freind of mine had to reformat after installing it (not sure if he just doesnā€™t know what heā€™s doing). i guess I give it a shot too. šŸ™‚ ---

Okay Iā€™ve had problem #2 and #3 now with SP2. #2: Each time I boot into windows it displays my desktop but nothing else and hangs. I have Cntrl- Alt-Del to bring up Task Manager, close explorer and then do a New Task and run explorer againā€¦then it works! Bah! #3: iTunes will no longer loads. Iā€™m really pissed about this one. Just opens a ā€œ~e5d141.tmpā€ file and hangs at 1,776K mem use. WTF? (#1 is up a few postsā€¦had to buy a new SATA drive to save my files) Iā€™m ready to reformat once more, put on original Win XP and leave it alone. ---

I did a reformat and immediatly installed SP2. It works a treat. As for downloading, I use [Winm](http://www.winmx.com)x and my downloads have never been faster. I now get about an extra 3k/s (not much but makes a difference). Upon saying that one of my friends did a reformat and installed SP2 and it completly messed up his computer, so I guess I was just luckyā€¦ Johnny ---
