Service Pack Betas, even Release Candidates, should *never* be used on production platforms
and should *only* be downloaded and installed by those who do Software Testing by
occupation.

Installing a Beta Service Pack is fool hardy at best and dangerous at the worst. Doing so
is contraindicated for the average home PC user.

You reap what you sow....

| Ive just installed the XP Service Pack 2 BETA RC1 and after rebooting, I have found that
Norton Antivirus will not load, and no amount of coaxing, re-installing or kicking the PC
will get it running again.
