    Win2k SP1 experiences

    As you may know Service Pack 1 has been released.
    Has anyone installed this yet and had any problems whatsoever?
    And will there be finally a DH option like in win98?


    ------------------
    In case it's a harware problem:
    PIII-500, 256 MB, G400 MAX DH on, ABIT BH6, MX300
    Win2K drivers: 5.03

    In case it's a harware problem:
    PIII-500@560, 256 MB, G400 MAX DH on, ABIT BH6, MX300
    Win2K drivers: 5.52

      I installed it last night.... It added a second IE shortcut to my quicklaunch bar, but that was the worst 'problem' I noticed

      No there won't be real dual-head, MS decided not to make the necessary changes to Win2k at all.

        No problems. No real fixes that were super-obvious. The biggest "problem" is that it messes up Black Ice and Zone Alarm in their highest security modes.

          Actually BlackICE already has been fixed. And SP1 fixes one major DirectX bug, which slowed things down. So if you play games definately install SP1.

              I didn't measure it myself, but others reported 10-15% increase in fps games like UT.

                The only thing I've noticed is that IE5.5 now tends crash occainsionally which it didn't before. But win2k being what it is carries on regardless.

                    I've noticed that IE5.5 crashes more now. IE5 NEVER used to crash on me before, but now it does sometimes; no big deal though. Overall, I don't see much diff.

                      There's also a fix for Zone Alarm now.

                          I put it on.
                          Not noticed much difference to be honest, but then i am still a bit new to 2k....
