XP Service pack 2

[anonymez]

ok i downloaded it, and the RTM version, as you guys said, was not digitally signed... but i just formatted my hdd and installed the proper one... the only problem is that i cannot right-click any files

so i searched on google and i found that the latest version of divx causes this problem... i uninstalled it and now it works fine

OR you could disable DEP, new virus protection feature in sp2

If you get the true unmodified SP2 it IS Digitally signed. (there is a hacked version with dialers installed that is not signed out there)

The finally TRUE signed version does not have right click issues and the only software I have had issues with is Adobe Photoshop CS and all it did was open very slow on a P4- 2.4Ghz computer with 1Gb of ram.
I have over 75 apps on this system and all the others work.

I have been running the true RTM SP2 for about 1.5 weeks now too.

The Firewall only blocks incomming traffic and is not multi-directional. Atguard is a good bi-directional firewall that you can configure technically without all the lame ass icons and colors such as in the windows firewall. It also has a cool dashboard that can sit atop yer screen. It doesnt make fart sounds though.
