I guess 1 of the developers of SP2 must have had one zero removed from his/her paycheck... :wink:

isn't sp2 supposed to install automatically when auto update enabled? and shouldn't it list in windows update?

looks like they throttled the delivery, i haven't seen it being downloaded on (legitimate) xp boxes...

Nasty Firewall Bug????????

I installed SP2 and it correctly identified ZoneAlarm and passed firewall
control to ZoneAlarm.

I then deactivated ZoneAlarm, and from the startup, so it was not running.

When I restarted the computer there was no firewall warning and I had a
session on the internet.
When I checked the status of the firewall, expecting the SP2 firewall to have
control, it said that ZoneAlarm had control, but it was not running.
So I picked up a load of junk I had to remove, lucky no damage was done.

ZoneAlarm was reactivated and I will have to live with that for now.
