Windows XP SP2 Released

i thought i heard that internet explorer windows were tabbed? if so how do you turn on the feature?

ctrl+click on the link?

:p: ==> soulty :wink:

Doesn’t work in IE…

Just thought I’d mention this here:
Macromedia have their own support page for SP2 and Flash-related questions:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/service/servicepack2.html
Might answer some questions…

If you want that functionality you can use a program such as AvantBrowser or MyIE2 that simply adds some extra features like tabbed browsing to your IE.

I just installed SP2, and I noticed when you publish as preview (HTML) in MX 2004, it gives you a “Active Content” warning and makes you click and say “Allow active content” 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 “Allow Active Content to run in files on My Computer” :slight_smile:

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 couldn’t connect to the internet [I have disabled zone alarm pro]. The only solution is to restart… [now I’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 don’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 it’s getting annoying if you’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.

god, i am not liking this sp2 so far. the wuauclt.exe aka auto update prog. is bugging me and my maxium download speeds are worse than a 56k modem and i cant be downloading any 2 or more songs or anything. ugh, anyone know how to fix that cr*p?

turn off windows updates :slight_smile:

and downloading songs? don’t need to be doing that anyways :wink:

_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

SP2 crashed my harddrive into a STOP error…:scream:

kinda off-topic but does anyone know how to import the favorites from IE to mozilla? firefox*

Have you tried File | Import in FF and Mozilla? And yes…your question is off-topic :evil:

Funny, I’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 doesn’t know what he’s doing). i guess I give it a shot too. :slight_smile:

MS Got Smart? none of my downloading cleints work anymore :open_mouth: even with the new SP2 Firewall disabled. Could microsoft have finally figured it out? Good Idea yes… But it sucks!

Okay I’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 again…then it works! Bah!

#3: iTunes will no longer loads. I’m really pissed about this one. Just opens a “~e5d141.tmp” file and hangs at 1,776K mem use. WTF? (#1 is up a few posts…had to buy a new SATA drive to save my files)

I’m ready to reformat once more, put on original Win XP and leave it alone.

In relation to my previous post I found this:

I did a reformat and immediatly installed SP2. It works a treat. As for downloading, I use Winmx 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 lucky…
