Protecteur has been asking about how you work around the 180 time bomb on sp2. How do you? I am having senior moments on this subject. Remember reading certain sutff on this forum and have "lost it". Anyone help?

Thanks

Not sure if it will work but you can try TweakNT, it's attatched below. I installed SP2 as an upgrade to an SP1 installation and don't have a time bomb, or if i do i havent seen any sgn of it. Let us know if it works.

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.

It hasn't been since the earliest beta's and i don't think it was even detected in the pre beta builds. The only AV that i have seen reports of being detected was McAffee. certainly norton, panda, and NOD don't get detected- have tried them all. Not sure why but MS seem to like McAffee.........

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

FYI:
I clean installed XP Pro Retail, skipping SP1, then went straight to installing RC1 and then RC2.

TweakNT reports "no timebomb".

Then it was removed oviously. Or was it a direct download from microsoft. Mine had a 180 time bomb untill I removed. Downloaded one from microsoft.com and one from http://windowsbeta.microsoft.com/.
