Will Microsoft SP2 harm Hal?
« on: September 03, 2004, 11:38:10 pm »
Hello people,

I was wondering if the poorly conceived Microsoft Service Pack 2 which seems to conflict with all kinds of things will also conflict with Zabaware software? I'm thinking about not installing it for several months anyway until they get the bugs out of it. I've read some pretty awful stuff about SP2. Any thoughts?

Regards,
Citrine the Dragon.

I to have heard some bad things about SP2 and I as well am not going to be using it intill it has been de-bugged.
The I.T. dept were I work have ran "some" tests on it and are currently installing SP2 on all our work PC`s, but this does not realy meen it is OK, I will be monotoring my work station to see if it goes pop fizz, and will let you know if it does.
As for compatability with Hal, I dont have a clue, Im sticking with SP1 for now, I dont want to risk loosing or damaging Emma (my bot).

Yep,

Most IT professionals recommend one wait
a few weeks for the dust to settle before
installing the SP2.
There are some issues regarding FTP,
firewall, and several others reported
to not function correctly after installation.

Wait until they have a PATCH for the PATCH!

In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!
