hey dude,
nah its no biggie - only playing with sp2 on the spare comps to identify any problems before i try it on the main machine
already learned i have to uninstall daemon tools and alcohol before installing but that they work fine once its in and theyre re-installed.
this is the final release of sp2 by the way - its the release to manufacturers version . the redistibutable is the only option for me as im on dial up and trying to update every computer on the network works out about the same time on the download witrhout the advantage of having a backup copy on disk or a slipstreamed media to avoid having to do it all again at some point in the future.
your advice about making a restore point should be heeded though
sp2 makes it own on during install it claims but i for one wouldnt trust it as far as i could comfortably spit a rat.

hey kryptonate
maybe ive just been lucky but ive bin using messenger plus with windows messenger for years - you dont get some functions but thats about it.
i have pretty much savaged the process list during the testing process for this - even stopping msgplus process doesnt help - you actually have to uninstall the program to get the error to dissapear.
