Re: SP2 and games

After you install Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2),
some programs may "seem" not to work. By default, Windows Firewall
is enabled and blocks unsolicited connections to your computer.

This article discusses how to make an exception and enable a program
to run by adding it to the list of exceptions. This procedure permits the
program to work as it did before the service pack was installed.

"some programs may "seem" not to work".... of course, it's obviously your own
faulty perception that is to blame. The wisdom here is that you should go
spend more money on Microsoft crap, follow some of the useless links included
in the previous post, pour yourself a nice, tall gin & tonic, and contemplate
where we would all be without the benevolent geniuses at Microsoft.
