WINDOWS XP SP2 CONFLICTS

MONDAY, AUGUST 16 2004 @ 12:10 PM

Microsoft has published Knowledge Base article, with a list of nearly 50 programs and games that may not work properly after installing SP2. Amazingly, but not suprising, many of the titles in the list are theirs, and include Visual Studio and SQL Server. Also, ColdFusion MX is mentioned as one of the affected programs.

The IT guys here installed it in their department and are having all kinds of issues with the firewall, file sharing, etc. I'm not sure if they have gotten it resolved or not. Anyway...

I have tried installing it twice now. It installs fine but then other things break, so I removed it and refuse to install it.

The first time I installed it I had issues installing new programs that used the Installshield Wizard. Then the second time it somehow messed up my Internet connection

I hear you. I only installed SP2 in my newest computer, as I was configuring a new system from scratch, and I haven't had any problems. However, I won't install SP2 on my other machines because I'm afraid it would mess up my stuff, as you describe.

I don't know if you reformat your disks on a regular basis (I do it every 6 months), but I would wait until then to install SP2 in a workstation.
