u may enter SP2 2055 express ?

Thanks so much for that query Mertsch! I always go to Google first, and I tried everything I could think of to no avail but that one Nailed it!

Again Thanks

hehe I wonder what you searched for that you did not find anything .... maybe

(with ") "I wanna download xp sp2 so gimme a motherf****** link for express install"

LMAO damn I am so funny today

The reason Windows Update reports errors is because once you install SP2 and upon first boot up you are presented with a question about keeping your PC up to date - Otherwise Automatic Updates is then activated.

If you select NO then this Service is Disabled and when going to the Windows Update site it will report an error 0xx8xxxx something.

If you select YES then of course it goes out and downloads and sits in your system tray for your response.

If you still don't want this feature which I DON'T you can say YES during the boot and then go to My Computer - Automatic Updates Tab and then set it to not download or install - at least this way the service is started and will be set to Manual - Or say NO and just go in to Services and set this to Manual - so that when you go to the Windows Update site it will function properly...

I still have not been able to configure my PC to allow File Transfers with Windows Messenger - I can RECEIVE but can NOT Send - I did get the Video and Voice functions to work - This was a royal pain because once you mess with any setting in your Network settings or with Component Services the computer needs to be rebooted to see if any changes worked - I know I've restarted my PC 1000 times in the last two days trying to find a setting that would work.

I've enabled TCP/IP Filtering and allowed all IP's all other default settings enabled all IP's for these as well and turned off the Firewall for all adapters but yet it still reports errors about Firewall when trying to send files???

I just installed XP Pro with SP2 Build 2055. I tried to install Style XP from http://www.tgtsoft.com, but it says it does not support this version of XP. Has this happend to anyone else?

style XP always needs a new patched winodws .dll just google and you will find one was it UXtheme.dll ?

:knife: my windows folder grows almost by 900mb wtf
dxdiag hangs up everytime i start it, getting a BSOD at random when booting

I see no reason (for me) to change from SP1 atm
and all this annyoing windows services nobody needs....no comment

I too installed WXPSP2 Beta 2055 but could not install any operating-system updates. Windows Update Version 5 was installed and seemed to work but all five critical updates failed to download. The Event Viewer shows errors from the Software Update Services Client in Categories 6 and 7. The Event Numbers are 147 and 161. Can anyone interpret this for me and let me know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

those are just test updates if you read the description ... just ignore windows update .... this is SP2 it is the newest u can get

Just ignore Windows Update?! How can you tell whether any critrical updates are necessary if you ignore Windows Update? How do you know those five critical updates are just test updates? If they fail to download, how do you know that any "real" updates will download and install? Thanks.

thats why there are test updates for the BETA version !!!
they are for testing and if you have problems report em or ignore em .... there is as I know no more update since SP2 so just go one and wait for next BETA or FINAL or switch back and use updated SP1
