Re: WU WinXP SP2 Problems

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I'm not having any problems, actually. I'm just concerned that the nes
section says:
Windows XP users: new security updates are now available for SP1 and SP2 only
What can you do now to ensure that you get Service Pack 2?
What to know before you install Windows XP Service Pack 2

Although it seems that my last update was on March 11th or something like
that ... sorry for bugging you like that... Maybe it should be changed so
anybody who is still using pre-sp2 beta will see that message, and anyone who
is using SP1 or SP2-rtm should see a diffrent message....
Also, I heard of the WU v6 beta and it's going to be changed to "Microsoft
Update"....
