Hi lists: sorry for the cross posting, but this might be of some use to both lists. I am running the latest version of jaws five, and I recently tried installing the latest service pack for windows xp. Installing it with jaws did not throw up the warned of problems. norton internet security threw up an error and was disabled, even when the xp firewall was disabled. This meant no protection and after a failed attempt to uninstall norton internet security, I restored my system to a time before I installed sp2. I also had the LU1803 error, on live update, which went away when I uninstalled sp2. So, all in all, I'm pretty unimpressed with microsoft. I had installed the norton patch for sp2 before I installed sp2, so I think I did everything right before I installed sp2. Just my thoughts on maybe the first build of sp2. hth hope to hear from you soon. from martin if you want to contact me, please email: m.wilsher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx co.uk thanks.
