Story: SP2 clashes with more than 40 programs
Posted by: Roger G Bowman (Tuesday 31 August 2004, 1:57 PM)
After installation of SP2, auto-update on Norton System Works 2003 (incl NAV 2004), refused to install the subscription and virus signature updates.
Also the 512mb broadband connection started to go slow, and several web pages refused to work, stating that they could not load cookies (even after making these allowances in the firewall settings per M/S instructions).
After uninstalling SP2, everything worked as normal.
SP2 is therefore NOT fully compatible with standard, day to day PC installations, and should be further tested in the field by realistic and practical users before being sent to unsuspecting domestic PC users, with an expectation that this fix is a panecea for all things nasty!
