Hi Dog,
Thanks. I read in a couple posts that the SP-2 RC2 has a time bomb in it. I guess this isn't true. I just set my pc up a year and rebooted. No difference. So, this concern must be bogus. NO?
Btw, anybody know if SP-2 will be a free service pack or if MS is gonna charge money for it?
I've got SP2 RC2 on a Pro desktop and on a Home laptop. So far so good. Except NAV doesn't seem to be recognized by the new security management interface.
Windows XP SP2 RC2 has a 180 time bomb. More than enough before the final build is released.
Anyways Tweak NT is the easy way to remove time bomb after install.
However if you wish to get rid of it completly simple extract the attached file to your i386 directory.
Also serivce packs are free. So yes SP2 is a free serivce pack.
BTW its illegal to charge for bug fixes.
So microsoft just calls them new features. :P
