Re: SP3 potential problem

Read the post by Aaron. You need to uninstall 3.5 first etc.

I tried to remove Netframework 2.0 sp 2 and it won't let me. It says
that it will affect other programs and gave me the following link for
more info:

I tried the link and it said that it couldn't find that page.

Remove all SP2 and later Microsoft Net Framework items and then
reinstall what the Windows Update offers!

thanks for the info.

I took a look in the add/remove programs folder in control panel and
the closest file I have in there to the one you suggest I remove is
Microsoft.net Framework 3.5 SP 1. All the other Framework
references were SP 2

I was reluctant to delete anything other than what you suggested.

Have a look in the System and Application logs in Event Viewer
for Errors and Warnings and post copies here. Don't post any
more than 48 hours ago.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the
meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and
Description are important.

HOW TO: View and Manage Event Logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308427/en-us

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and
close Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste
into the body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Hello,
Not sure if this is the appropriate newgroup to post this
question. Please re-direct me if not. Recently, my computer was
updated with SP3. Since that time I started having intermittent
problems with the hot keys on my laptop, namely the <Fn>key and
the end key which toggles my speakers on and off. The
functionality is there but the display that would appear on the
screen no longer is. Dell uses an application called Quick Set
that controls this functionality. They say that they have had
reports of problems with this application after SP3 was
installed. If this is true, is there any work-around. They want
me to reformat my HD which I really don't want to do. Any
suggestions?
