Re: Sp2 continuing problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I can't speak specifically to all your problems, but as for " I keep my firewalls (3) up to date", you should never run more than one firewall. Problems will occur.

My question is a valid one whether anybody has this particular problem or not
...

1/...Will Microsoft release fixes for sp2 compatibility issues that are to
this day still messing up computers...

2/ How can one relay to Microsoft about these issues ???..Without having to
pay a fortune in support fees...

I have tried downloading and installing sp2 twice..Once when it was first
released and once again last week...I have had to remove it both times due to
my router losing its ability to connect after a few hrs of having sp2 amongst
other issues...I have always been a believer in Microsoft's products and have
always kept my computers up to date with patches and updates but sp2 has
continually wreaked havoc with my computers...I know I may not necessarily
need sp2 due to the fact that I at least once a week try and locate my
computer by either pinging or using port scans and it cannot be found and I
keep my firewalls (3) up to date as well as my antivirus ,,spysweeper and
other programs as well untill maybe Microsoft hopefully fixes sp2..
