Re: [W2K] Win2k Service Pack 4
said by rmbags  :
Did a fresh (clean) install from a slipstreamed cd on a test box. I then noticed that there was no Micro$oft Java VM installed. Anybody else notice this.
I was just gonna post...
I installed Sun's JVM and I had a very bad experience. The browser closed without warning if there was an applet on the page and an error was generated and placed in a text document on the desktop.
It was a slipstreamed SP4, just testing. Hopefully it won't happen when I finally decide to use Sun's JVM on XP, but for now I am sticking with MS's JVM because of that one bad experience. |

I have a system that had 329170 profile issues and after SP4 the "issues" went away and logs are clean (going on 3 days with no errors or warnings) Try installing it just remember to archive first |

Downloaded and installed SP4. All looks good so far. I archived the files just in case. Glad to see M$ still plans to support 2000pro, a great OS:)

Re: [W2K] Win2k Service Pack 4 "Bump"
Sorry for Off-Topic. Please excuse my ignorance, but I am unfamiliar with "Bump". I have seen it many times but for the life of me I cannot infer its meaning from the context in which it is used. Would anyone care to explain it to me? I am, however, able to figure out it is not such a good thing to do. Therefor, I promise never to do it. Thank you for your understanding and patience with this not-seldom-poster.

P.S.
Solved but however due to site policies I can't post any links to download the installer for MS Java VM.

This is a result of Sun's law suit with Billy Gates. No more support for Java. 
You have to get it from Sun. |

Seems the IDE drivers have been updated too. At least if you're using a VIA based chipset.

Re: [W2K] Win2k Service Pack 4
reaver221- noticed on that 'how to slipstream' page (thanks for that link btw), another link for SP5 fixes- 27 of them? Are these the first 'pre SP5' hot-fixes- as Microsoft update site doesn't have them listed- but I expect a lot to appear eventually. Don't want to go blindly installing patches -wouldn't be the first time, come to think of it  Thanks for any info- reiko2 |

I am amazed that some of these post-sp4 hotfixes were not addressed before, specifically the stand-by related issues. |

Okay- just wondering. No doubt we'll be seeing a 'few' patches over the next few months or so (LOL)- guess I can wait for the fun. Thanks again- reiko2 |

OK, I came here to read about the 329170 problems. I think that is clear to me now. But WTF is going on with MS Java again? Is everybody who's doing clean installs losing MS Java? Or just some folks? What's up with that?

FWIW, I installed SP4 yesterday from the full distribution I downoaded on Friday (couldn't wait for the CD). First I saved key things like Kerio PF configuration, printed Snagit photos of the status of all services, disconnected from the internet, disabled McAfee, Kerio, Ati Multimedia Center, Lexmark printer stuff, made sure there was no Diskeeper automatic stuff running, and shut down whatever else I could think of that was running.
Installation was uneventful, and so far I haven't found any breakage of anything. There was no loss of the Kerio config. Services were in the same state as before, except MS provided a new one for wireless LANs. My configuration is relatively mundane:
Abit KT-7 RAID w/ Highpoint Controller disabled; Bios UL102; Via 4.40v(a)p3
800 Mhz Athlon TB @ 800; CPUfx Core cooler; Addtronics ET7896A case w/ Enermax 2x400W PS
2 x 128 MB Xerox PC133 SDRAM (CAS2/100 MHz; CAS3/133MHz) @ 133 MHz
PS2 Mouse and Keyboard; Mitsumi Floppy; SB Live! Value; Orange Micro USB 2.0 PCI
Via IDE1 Master: Accusys 7500 RAID 1 w/ 2 WD Caviar 40GB; Slave: Onstream DI30 FAST tape drive
Via IDE2 Master: Plextor Plexwriter 12/10/32A; Slave: Toshiba SD-M1612 DVD-ROM
Startech PCI2IDE100 IDE1 Master: Iomega Zip 100;
AGP: Ati AIW Radeon, 6094 driver, MMC 7.7.0.1, DVD 7.6

| I've had SP4 running about a week now, and aside from losing the pretty little icons for some sites in my favorites (such as the one for this site) I've not noticed anything untoward. I'll be patching servers with SP4 next week, and I'm not anticipating any troubles there, from what I'm seeing.
I've also installed two new desktops and immediately plugged SP4 in. No troubles there...
Anyway, the updated desktop is as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2000+
512MB PC2100 DDR (2700? Whatever is the 266 MHZ)
Shuttle AK32A mobo with the original BIOS
errr... using Kirby's post as a guide here.. whew! gave lots of info!!
I'm also on Verizon with a westell bridge.. have a belkin router
Vid is an MSI Geforce ti4200
Have a Plextor CD-WR, and I use Nero.. no troubles there..
Using an Iomega Jazz drive on a SCSI card (no drivers - I don't boot off it).. no troubles.
I use AVG 6 Free and ZAF; no trouble with either (ZAF had a lot of 'repeat programs' on Win components, of course)
That's about it here!
