[Dxbase] Off-Topic ... Windows XP Svc Pack 2 -- Joe wa6axe

Mon Sep 27 21:34:51 EDT 2004

after d/w an insider at MSFT, there is a known problem
with Win XP SP 2.0 that blocks certain accesses to
files or ports. There is a SP 2.2 that I am told
fixes it. I am on Win 2k, so I am not personally
familiar. XP is supposedly slowed down when the SP's
are accumilated.
