Any word on XP sp2?

May 5, 2004 2:01:39 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I understand that a beta is out? I was just wondering when the finished product may be available. Is the "New and Improved" firewall any good...or is it a poor MS attempt of a firewall?

Sounds like not until the middle of June.

I'm running the beta on 2 systems here. Quite happy with it so far.
The firewall is a vast improvement over the standard non SP2 one, from what I can tell.
I'm running a hardware one here, so I haven't tried it out, but I've heard from people who were running the default one that it's way better.
Not as good as a full one though, but adequate enough for most users.

@Hippy - I've asked this many times, but not got an answer, I'm just hoping you know - Do you have any issues with WB4.2/3 and SP2? Like Toolbar skinning... just want to know if it's only my system.

Hi

Does anyone know how to get Toolbar skinning working again with 4.2 once you have installed XP Service Pack 2? It seems to completely break it, apart from the Go button

Otherwise, anyone know if the Stardock guys are updating WB to fix the problem? AVI skinning still works fine.

Thanks

Thats the only issue we are aware of and its probably due to a minor bug somewhere in WB thats been exposed by minor changes to the OS.
Its likely to be resolved before WB 4.3 is released.
