Will install SP2 in a few days, but before I got through
the whole hell/fun-ness of it, I have a few questions.

1. Java. Because MS got rid of the Java Virtual Machine,
I now use the Sun Java Webstart. Anyone have problems
with this and SP2?

2. Can I use the Google Toolbar WITH the new IE6 Pop-Up
Blocker? I love the auto-fill feature, but Google Toolbar
has really dropped off in the # of pop-ups it will catch.
Now it lets about 10-20 a day through.

3. I use P2P programs and I am worried about the new TCP
limit of 10 downloads at once. I hear its impossible to
fix with a registry tweak. Any other way around it?

4. I use Norton AntiVirus 2002 Pro. Anyone have any
problems with it?

5. Anyone notice any problems after applying SP2 with
their Audigy 2 ZS sound card?

6. I use Divix. But I hear folks have been having
problems. What free version can I use without problems?

Besides the above, what I plan on doing is backing up
EVERYTHING any way. Apply the SP2 and see how it works
out. What breaks. Then I will wipe my C:\ drive and re-
install fresh from scratch and then add SP2 as well. But
some help for the above questions would be nice.

Thanks
