Anyone using SP2 yet?

Been using firefox quite a bit and there are definitely sites that need work for it.  USPS.com is the main one for me.  Ah well, thank the maker for the "view this page in IE" extension.

The java at the end when you go to purchase and print your labels.  For some reason, it locks my browser whereas with IE, it does not.  Reinstalling java specifically for FF had no effect.

The browser has major issues with java. The main problem is when u already have msjava installed and you also install sun java.   Only true solution is to remove msjava (which is a bytch to do properly) then install sun java.

Popup Blocker? Sweet.

Even though I’m a Opera fanwhore I could use a blocker for IE (some sites refuse to run on Opera).. PopUpCop is complaining about registration and I’m too lazy to get it registered. ;)

I’m waiting one more week before I grab SP2. I want to find out what problems it causes first. ;)

Only prob i had is with the sercurity Center crap not leaving my sys tray even when I everything is disabled.. Easy to fix though.

Also was freezing my system randomly. Had to do a fresh install of Xp then add the sp2 rather then add it over the Sp1a.  Fixed the problem and it has been running sweat ever sense.

Thanks for the info.

Damn, I would not want to reinstall XP again (this install is just a few months old). Dont have the time/energy right now.

I\'ll wait for a while.

Just a heads up...  there seems to be a problem with people using SP2 and connections to P2P networks:

Quote
"SP2 can cause you some headaches if you use many P2P connections or P2P fileshare programs. SP2 enforces the EULA restriction of 10 concurrent incomming TCP connections for Pro, and 5 for Home. Royally screws BitTorrent sharing. There is rumor of a patch for the TCP stack to remove the restriction, but I haven\'t looked into it yet."

Interesting about the bittorrent stuff.  I don\'t know if it\'s really true though.  Yesterday I downloaded an anime episode and did it at max download speed via bittorrent without any problems.  Odd...

download speeds and peers/seeds are 2 different things.

You can\'t connect to any more then 10 people per port. Doesn\'t matter what speed you download at.
