Re: None that I can see - Here you go...: -Tell you what, show me one comment based upon actual testing of the product and I will respond as you suggested.-

Here you go:

Having tested SP2 beta, I can say with complete certainty that it breaks Norton Systemworks. I had to reinstall XP twice before I figured out that SP2 was the culprit. I am now up to speed again sans SP2, and with Norton Systemworks.

Note that I am not 'whining' I am stating the results of my actual testing of the product. Admittedly, I was testing a beta, but it is still the product. MS may fix some issues, but breaking 1/10 of all apps seems pretty bad.; Posted by: Letophoro Posted on: 05/11/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
