Seen this on another forum. will this be true for blacknet aswell

If you have installed Windows XP SP2, you must add the .....web site to your trusted sites, and to the list of manage sites under the privacy section for managing cookies. If you do not add the site to both of these area, you will have cookie and login problems.

SP2 for XP has increased it security efforts, and the above will be the norm for most sites you visit which utilize cookies for authentication. Thanks.

So what you are saying is that its worth installing Microsoft Windows Service Pack 2. I discovered from a separate websites that if you install some software applications like Macromedia MX, Norton Anti-Virus etc on SP2, you would inevitably encounter some dificulties on the basis that SP2 comes with its own firewall. Is this really true as i'm apprehensive of installing SP2 because i have Norton antivirus and Macromedia MX. Could you help me out on this?

I installed sp2 on my personal laptop and work PC last week, some issues with the in house database, so we are holding fire on deploying it to the mass.

No problem as yet with personal laptop, all the problems with software is caused by firewall blocking it, so if you have a firewall already installed on your PC switch off the windows firewall (network connections -> right click your connection - > Advanced -> turn off ICF (Internet Connection Firewall), everything should be ok.

If you still sceptical about installing it hold fire for a while and I will let you know once we finish testing SP2 at work-----

i asked my friend the original question i posted and he says dont add sites to your trusted zone on your home pc as that makes them low risk regardless of what your settings are therefore increase risk

Ever since i installed windows xp service pack 2 on my computer system, i have been getting disconnected from the internet every 10 minutes. Does anyone knows how to tackle this problem? May be i should just delete service pack 2 or something. Damn, bill gates.

Thought i would find this thread rather thanstart another

i noticed my aunties pc has service pack 2 and she has no faults going online

just wondering would it be best to download from site or use the cd from the microsoft site. i have ordered the cd anyway. which do you reccomend

so does that mean the disc or online is better for install

I normally just download the re-distributable copy. Sometimes also called server admin copy. That means that I can put it on as many pcs as I like and if a friend needs it, I can easily burn it to a CD.

how do you do that. do i download it to disc if so how so

You just download it and run it, heres the link:-

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

If you are doing maybe only 1 or 2 pc's, Its not worth it. But anymore, it saves a lot of time.

my sp2 cd came today i am going toinstall it but i am nervous. what if something goes wrong. io read the microsoft sites info and i tried updating drivers from hp/compaq but the site never works and one thing said i was up to dat for that thing.......should i just install sp2 and cross fingers pray to God

thank you
