thanks, coming down the pipe :)
Is it safe to apply this build?

Cheers

ruffrazor, when you say "it works fantastic", what does your system do now that it didn't do before?

Just curious..............

I mean like, the problems I had with Service Pack 1 do not come with SP2. It seems that my system works faster than with SP1. Now my Videocard isn't having any trouble with the SP2 like with SP1. People who had the sam trouble now what I'm talking about!

So test it your self :rolleyes:

If anyone cannnot download from the above link that's because it is removed from the server now. Thanks ruffrazor for sharing it with us. :)

I heard of a build 1194. Now I am gonna check that out...:D

The link is back up, with an mirror so, you can download it!! :D

I have build 1204 on my ftp if you want to download it from there

Address: [hide]robinswebsite.servebeer.com

Doesn't make any difference those are old, there is a new one just released.

that is what i have 2005
security is better so far or control of the firewall at least.

Yea but windows update v5 is dead (damn 0x8007007E error) and outlook bar in outlook express is now useless. And a number of other "bugs" and faq ups. :(

If you'll use the troubleshooting there in windows update v5 then it will walk you thru the repair. It has done nothing to the outlook bar here.

This may or may not be silly but I dont think its kosher to post links to microsoft products that are only released to testers. I think you should take any links out of this topic. If Im wrong just spank me. Lol!

I have to ty this new one ;)

Well this is funny. lol

Thats WinXP SP2 Beta 1 right from microsoft. Dont believe me download it. lol

See!!

I'm downloading it War

Thank you ;)

Yeap no problem. Just know there are a "large" number of bugs it seems. :(

is it a bad idea to install this on a smooth running machine?
I am hesitant, because my config is running like a top now, and the last thing I want is to have a BETA SERVICE PACK screw things up..

What do you guys think?

thanks!

Hi,

I use Ghost 2003 all the time so if my OS gets screwed, takes me 5 minutes to get back where I was before.

What I want to do is Slipstream this SP2 into XP and burn, then do upgrade from XP, seems to work better for me.

Cheerz :) ;) :D

Hello,
and how can i expand the .psf file ??

vectrix

What would really be nice, is to just grab the IE6.5 installer and let some of us that have 56k connection to at least try the Internet Explorer out for now. I would think that would install on top of sp1 wouldn't?

Microsoft hasn't gone as far as to making IE6.5 only for the sp2 version and higher have they?

If someone could check to see if they can lift the setup files off the sp.2 beta please post it.

Thanks

I rolled my pc back to pre-SP-2 beta. For reasons I can't figure I get no sound when playing a DVD movie file, whether from the hd or the dvd reader. Or, more specifically, sound might run with WinDVD, but not Media Player. Also been getting a few "program not responding" situations.

For a trial of the new IE - a google search for
IE-6-05-build0006.rar should turn up a few places where you
can download it.

Downloading now :)

PSF is an extension I am not familar with, so I still have no clue what I need to do with it once its downloaded.

anyone how to burn .psf file?

I guess the use of the *.psf file is not explained by anyone yet.

This was posted in ieX. Hopefully that would help:

The "WindowsXP-SP2-x86fre-USA-2055.psf" is used by the "express update". It is a "P Stream" file (whatever that is.) When using the 'express update' (xpsp2-express.exe), it will download this '.psf' file from Microsoft. However, it is unusable (from what I can tell) without the 'express update' program to know what to do with it.

I have tried to 'trick' the updater into using the local 'psf' file, but it refuses to cooperate. If any of you would like to try further investigate, feel free.

xpsp2-express.exe (found elsewhere ;) ) can be extracted into a folder using the command: xpsp2-expresss /x

Once extracted, you can enter the '\update\' folder, and manually run the 'update.exe' program. From a command prompt (or Run... command), you can use the following switches:

----------------------
/help - Displays this message

/quiet - Quiet Mode (no user interaction or display)
/passive - Unattended mode (progress bar only)
/uninstall - Uninstalls the package

/norestart - Do not restart when installation is complete
/forcerestart - Restart after installation

/l - Lists installed Windows hotfixes or update packages
/o - Overwrite OEM files without prompting
/n - Do not backup files needed for uninstall
/f - Force other programs to close when the computer shuts down
/integrate:<path> - Integrates this software update into the folder located at <path>
/d:<path> - Back up files into <path>
----------------------


The URL location of the 'psf' file is located in '\update\update.url' (the extension is hidden by default. It has an 'internet explorer' icon). Opening this file in Notepad reveals the '[SourceFilesURL]' section, which lists the URL that it pulls the 'psf' from.

I have tried to manually edit this file, but my efforts are fruitless. Pointing to a local file (C:\WindowsXP-SP2-x86fre-USA-2055.psf) will fail. Dropping onto a regular web server ([url]www..com\WindowsXP-SP2-x86fre-USA-2055.psf) will ALSO fail, due to 'invalid data' or other strange errors. I have also tried the "file:///C:/WindowsXP-SP2-x86fre-USA-2055.psf" location, but again that fails.

If anyone has any desire to further investigate, feel free to do so. I know some of you are pretty smart :)

Download Express-installer in the same language as the .PSF
Open it in Winrar, in directory "update" find Update.url - open it.
Then simply replace the URL by the path where you downloaded .PSF (maybe C:\DOWNLOADS\WindowsXP-SP2-x86fre-USA-2055.psf), save it.
Run it and it runs well!!!

Isn't it better to wait for the "original" SP2 and not to inst. a betaSP? :D

@nobosch, That's what recommened for the end-user. ;). Welcome to the board. :)
