This is not the case im my experience with Win2K Pro (not Server) and
SP4, as evidenced in my posts in this thread. If you care to address
some of the issues I have had (and others have had) in this by all means
please do. And by all means please elaborate on exactly WHAT you do not
agree with that I've written.
It seems to me that you wrote:
"SP3 fixed issues that were not fixed in SP2 which fixed issues that
were not fixed in SP1 which fixed issues that came with Windows 2000."
Which is in part in agreement with some of what I wrote, except that I
added that in MY experience (and obviously in that of others) it is
often the case that there are things "fixed" and other things "broken"
with service packs (and not just M$'s SPs either).
All I am saying is that I have seen very many Win2K Pro PCs hosed by SP4
that were otherwise working just fine. I gave my experiencial evidence
and repeatable evidence, which I have done a fair job of suplying
symptoms for here. Care to comment on anything specific? It'd be nice if
someone could come up with exactly WHAT gets broken with SP4, WHY, and
under WHAT circumstances. Maybe M$ would be able to actually FIX it
then, instead of avoiding the issues. I've contributed my experiences. I
don't have any answers except that if SP4 causes problems then remove
it. It has proven beyond any doubt to me and many others to be
problematic. If you haven't had the problems, then good for you. Me and
a lot of others have.
