Since installing XP SP2 update, the camera picture acquisition wizard no
longer functions - it crashes. I have duplicated this error on 3 PCs... There is pretty long list of software that might not work with SP2 including Microsft own releases like Excel, Office, MSN and other popular software like AOL at: http://support.microsoft.com/default...t=windowsxpsp2. At least 10 programs on that list I use on regular basis. Unless I decide to test my masochistic tendencies I think I'm going to wait untill the dust settles down and some fixes come out from MS and other vendors. Good 3rd party firewall and possibly non IE based browser should take care of security holes in Win XP without SP2. I might create dual boot partition and test SP2 on secondary Windows just to see what I'm missing if it keeps raining and I get totally bored but otherwise I'll wait.

Anyone know how to fix this issue? It seems that Microsoft broke some of their own software with this patch: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17869 and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=842242

The KB article seems to say little more than "open the ports these programs need". Cheers, David

Cheers, David Here is a Microsoft site with a list of programs that 'may' be affected. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;884130 Regards. Ken. How curious. I expected WordPerfect 11 not to work, but Zone Alarm? My my. And my viruschecker as well... Then there's Nero 6 Ultra, my CD and DVD burning software. And InstallShield 8. How do I know which of my programs installs with that? And Pinnicle Studio? And the free version of Real Player. My goodness. What can I do? Oh, wait. Microsoft has programs that will replace most all of this don't they... Ok bad guys out there! I've installed all of the security updates up to the release of SP2. But I don't think I'm going to install SP2 -- at least not until somebody supplies me with updates to those (and a number of other) programs so that they will work. I guess I'll just have to hide behind my existing firewalls... ---- Paul J. Gans
