The dell pc came pre-installed with sp2. I am having problem with one access app which uses internet transfer control to post to a web site and it does not work with sp2. All pre-sp2 pcs work fine. I have worked with an ISA server MS guy (as all pcs are behind and sbs2003/Isa 2000 server) and he thinks somehow sp2 is prohibiting the itc from sending user credentials to ISA server hence ISA server responds by 407 Proxy authentication required. Have spent a lot of time on both pc and server settings. Don't know what to do except downgrade the pc to sp1.

John;
Did SP-2 come installed on the computer or was SP-2 part of the installation CD?
Perform a Repair Installation with a pre SP-2 CD should do it.
But you may have problems with the Product Key, Activation etc depending on the versions involved.

Why do you want to downgrade the security of your computer?
Eventually you will need SP-2.

Hi

Is there anyway to bring down an sp2 machine to sp1? Possibly by reinstalling from xp sp1 cd on top of a sp2 installation? Ideally I would like to retain all apps during the process if possible.

Thanks

Regards
