Pink Poogle Toy Forum

I have always installed full updates on my PC but am now having a conflict with SP2 and my mp3 player.

If I install the mp3 player before installing sp2 it will work great, once I install sp2 it keeps telling me my device has malfunctioned. If I plug the player into a rear usb port it will pick it up but lock the computer so that I can't do anything untill I unhook the player. I have also tried not installing the player at all untill sp2 is installed, that doesn't work either.

I have formatted my computer several times to try and find a workaround but the only exlpanatin I can come up with is a conflict with sp2. I have also read a few other people have had this problem on the net.

So can I live without sp2? and what can I download to fix the things that I can't live without?
Thanks!

You're supposed to install SP2 first after reformatting before you install any other programs on there to avoid conflicts.

I've tried that several times with no luck. still get a conflict.

without sp2 you are vulerable to that virus that shuts down your computer constantly.

even with Norton Internet Security 2006?

can I download that particular patch instead of the whole sp?

I never updated to SP2. I have read too many stories of the pain it causes.

You should be fine if you surf smart (and use firefox ).

That's only from morons who installed it after installing all of their other softwares. If you install it after installing Windows, you're fine. I have not had a problem.

Have you checked if the mp3 players software has a fix for sp2 on their website.

When things go wrong, best thing to do is to go to the manufacturer, most companies have sorted out SP2 incompatibilities by now.

I have downloaded the latest drivers and updated the firmware and still have the problem. I have installed Norton Antivirus and zonealarm pro now to protect me from the evil internet. I think i'll be ok!
