Win2k Sp4, just when u thought it was safe to

RipperRoo · 07-09-2003, 02:56 AM

'aplication crashes no longer effect the os' u sure about that bill?
cause the bsod internet explorer just caused on my pc says different.

since installing sp4 on this pc, ive had:
IE crash on me more times in one week than in the previous 3 months, and ive NEVER had it cause a reboot before, no matter how long the os has been up (my pc's sometimes aint rebooted for a week and they are on 24/7).

problems accessing my e-mail accounts (i have to log in every 2 mins)

options have disapeared from my right click menu ( eg mp3's can no longer be enqued in winamp).

what next?

format and reinstall to service pack three, thats what.

I upgraded to SP4 with no problems. It fixed that looooooooong wait at "Saving system settings" before logging off or rebooting.
