Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 There may be a difference in the packages depending on how they were aquired. I upgraded all of mine using their automated install on the site, not using the redistro package. It is very likely that the 2 distro's were packaged by different people, and possibly containing different settings. It could also be that there were 2 critical updates and a WMI update that I installed at the same time. This could have caused the problem also. Is there anyone else that has experienced this problem under the circumstances I have described? *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I upgraded to SP2 a few weeks ago. Nothing has affected me. A pindle bot that I use has a lot of trap tips on it. And they are still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Did you only update to SP2 or did you install the 3 other updates that require SP2 after you finished the service pack install? *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Hmm... Not quite sure =/. I have my computer set to just automatically download and install updates at will. I really don't check on what it is installing, but it could have installed the other files with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 That is a good idea; let Microsoft install whatever they want on your computer. They may call it a service pack but do you really know what it does? *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 They have never done me any wrong. I never get any unwanted crap. They only update major things, I'm not talking about search bars etc. I'm talking about the main installs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt @ MPCS Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 It is very apparent how long you have been using computers. Personally as IT personnel it has only been 2 years since they screwed me over. XP incompatibilities are still popping up everywhere... now with SP2 I find that I have to revert back to SP1 because SP2 has issues with Oracle... trust Microsoft.. Baa! *** Matt @ MPCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BL@(K-R34P3R Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I have been using computers a long time... I have NEVER had a problem with their updates. But, just to let you know, this is my only windows machine in use right now. And I don't use or know what oracle is. Most of the stuff I do, is burn cd's, download music, script, and play games. Every once in a while I do some creative homework ^^. Have you used Linux? I find it to be very very effective for scripting in general. Because u can manipulate linux machines a lot more. Like I know about medium level Python scripting and it is fairly easy to do cool stuff on Linux machines with it. Too bad there isnt an autoit for linux.
