SP2 got me a KMODE EXCEPTION with my logitech mouse driver i8042prt2.sys (9.00.99b)

Looks like Win2k Service Pack 2 has been officially released. The Service Pack 2 page is up and there is a link on microsoft's win2k site. Now we know its the final version.

After installing SP2 for Win2K I get the following errors when running the HotFix Checker for IIS 5.0 (HFCINST).

My question: Do these patches need to be re-applied or does the HFCINST need to be updated? (most likely)

Fulton.

you need to re-apply the ms01-026 hotfix pack, and you'll be all set

So far I have applied SP2 on four Win2k machines, two Pro, one server, one Advanced server. All have seen significant improvments in memory useage, network performance, and the GUI is much more responsive.

On the Advanced Server installation, it is the Primary ADC, it runs Exchange 2000, IIS 5.0, and Windows Media services (intranet only on all services) Before SP2 average memory footprint was 380MB. Post SP2 it averages 220MB. That is a huge improvement! Also, the amount of clients that the Windows Media Services could support has increased so I suspect a huge network performance increase was made with SP2.

As for the two Pro installations, the GUI is much more responsive, have seen frame rate increases in Quake, lower memory footprint, and faster GUI overall. SP2 is a go as far as I am concerned.

last post did not get posted, so I'm back again!
anyone know where tp get a Swedish download of the SP2???
or is this why they haven't officially released SP2?
lack of language support or what?

I installed SP2 on a Compaq Armada M300 and a Dell inspiron8000 both running Windows2000 Professional. I noticed that both machines seemed to be a bit faster in menu selections and program executions. I have not noticed any adverse affects form SP2 Yet! Overall it seems to be a good service pack, unlike SP2 in WindowsNT 4.0!

I installed SP2 on Win 2K Server. After installing SP2, the server took FOREVER to boot up whenever I would reboot it. There was also a problem with the floppy drive. About every 5 minutes or so the floppy drive would act like it was looking for a disk (for no reason that I could see). I uninstalled SP2 and the server seems to be working with no problems after the uninstall. Also installed SP2 on my laptop which is running Win 2K Pro. Got a BSOD on the first reboot after install. Rebooted again and it came up OK. Laptop seems to be working with no problems now.

Before applying SP2, I can re-hibernate my system (start a new session, hibernate the system, take it out of hibernation, and hibernate the system again) without any problem. I can repeat the rehibernation as many time as I like without any problem. Same thing goes after I applied SP1. However, after applying SP2, I can only hibernate a new session ONCE, any re-hibernation attempts caused the system to freeze at the "Preparing to hibernate..." screen. Do any of you have any idea of what caused it and how to get around the problem? Please help...

I am having the exact same problem with hibernation on my laptop computer. I am thinking of uninstalling SP2 so that I can hibernate again. Does anyone have any ideas, and does MS know about this problem?

I'm not sure this is a SP2 issue - I had exactly the same problem with Win2K (no service pack installed - corporate standards!)

Quickest way I got past this was to reinstall W2K.....

Everything worked just peachy until I put SP2 on, then it broke...

Same goes for me.... pls... do anyone have any idea on how to tackle this prob and may I know if MS has been notified bout this?

I have the same problem,
I think microsoft is drunk when they release their service packs,
how could this bug get trough the beta testers, i guess they were too busy playing quake 3 :-)

Everything was perfect WRT hibernation pre-SP2 (I don't think I actually properly shutdown Win2k for several months!). This is the first time Win2K has blue-screened on me.

I'm having the same probs with SP2 also...
BTW what laptops are you guys using?

I'm using an Inspiron 8000 and have had the same problem occur twice in the last two days. This never happened even once before installing SP2.

HP OmniBook 6000.

This is a long-shot, but do any of you use UUNET PAL dialer?

I remember on my Inspiron 7500 there was a problem with an older version (4.0?) locking COM1 causing Win2k to blue-screen when it attempted a power-down of the COM ports during hibernation. I have a newer version of PAL installed on my OmniBook 6000.

I'm also using an Inspiron 8000, and the problem never happened once until I loaded SP2. Now it happens every time. Before SP2 I don't think i had actually booted the computer regular in at least 3 weeks.

If Stand-by/Hibernation works OK the first time but hangs in the "Preparing to ..." phase the second time, you probably installed Nero 5.5. Revert to Nero 5.0 and the problem will disappear. Now what's amusing is that W2K SP2 and Nero 5.5 released at about the same time... I suppose many people installed both and attributed the bug to W2K? Or is there a real W2K bug that happens to have the same symptoms as the Nero 5.5 bug?

It's not Nero. The only change I made to the system was installing SP2, which broke hibernation. Today I reverted to SP1, which fixed hibernation.

So it's definitely a SP2 problem.

Just wanna let you guys know that I am using a customized desktop.... p3-500, CC820 M/B, 256 MB RAM, Riva TNT2 with D3 reference drivers, SB Live with Liveware 3...

by the way, could it be some drivers conflict? and yeah, i do have nero 5.5.1.8 installed... let me try reverting and get back to u guys with the results .....

thanks for pointing this out... i do have nero 5.5 installed... let me give the reverting idea a try....

I'm running an IBM ThinkPad 660, and I have had the same hibernation problem with Windows XP Beta 2. Prior to installing XP Beta 2, I was running Win2K, and then Win2K SP1, for over a year, using hibernation often, and had never had a problem. I am going to reinstall Win2K and try SP2 to see if the problem exists for me in that scenario. I would imagine that the same issue is causing the problem for XP Beta 2 and Win2K SP2- anyone have any knowledge of the XP problem?

ok... i have reverted to nero 5.0.4.4 and this solved the hibernation prob...:) again, thanks to the one that pointed the nero issue out....

however, i am still interested to know if is there or will there be a special patch from Ahead/MS to address this problem?

have MS and / or Ahead been notified regarding this hibernation prob with nero 5.5?

I wanna contact (email,if possible) Ahead and tell them about this prob (nero 5.5 & post sp2 hibernation prob)... does anyone have any idea how can I do that?

I really hope that a patch will be released to address this prob so that I can use nero 5.5 again...

I am running PAL 4.11 with the GINA on a SP1 to SP2 upgraded system with no problems.

I just applied the sp2 patch on win2k server. The response time seemed to get faster. But the problem I had with the installation is that after the system hibernates and I move my mouse, I get a frequency out of range messege on my screen. But when I hit alt+ctrl+del it puts me back to the logon window. And the second time the system hibernates, the system freezes.

I have a gforce2 gts on a view sonic A90, with 1024X768 16 bit resolution and 60 Mhz refresh rate. Before the sp2, everything was running fine.

I put sp2 on win2k (p4 1.7, 256mb, all scsi, homebuilt) on a few days ago and everything is fine except it broke BlackIce. Now get a "filter failed" prompt in the Attacks list. So far, BlackIce website and tech support have not acknowledged any issue. Anyone else have this problem?

They've released an SP2 compliant version of Blackice. It's at their website.

So they have. Thanks for the heads up...

I took a wild guess at downloading sp2express from http://mssjus.www.conxio...t5/en-us/sp2express.exe and it worked.

I'm going to try and install it now, and also check that it's not a beta.

The runtime download and installation went perfectly. My download was only 16 MB as compared to ~100 MB for the network installation.

The package was signed on 8 May 2001 (a week or so ago), so I'm guessing that it is the intended final release. There are no signs that it is a beta version.

What is the Express Install good for if it won't install when you haven't at least 250 MB free on the system disk?!
Damned!!! :(((((((((

Read the "readme" and followed the instructions scrupulously.
Looks great, seems to work faster BUT when I installed this I lost my networking completely. I have P4 1.5 with plenty of disk and 750Mb memory on a home LAN with a D-Link Router to DSL. Also have a Win 98 PC on the LAN. Installed the update and could "see" the 98 PC but could not access the shared drives. Started Mail - could not see mail server. Started IE - could not find sites. Win 98 PC worked OK with Internet but could not see this PC. Checked network settings and nothing seemed to have changed. Tested bypassing router & LAN and resetting Network ID (used to work OK) - still not working over Internet. All network settigs looked the same (Netstat and IPCONFIG). Reset network settings to original, reconnected to LAN and uninstalled this update. Bingo LAN and Internet work perfectly. Reinstalled again - lost LAN and Internet. Frustrated - went and uninstalled again and back to square one.
-Anybody else suffered this???

When MS posts it on their site, will there be a way to check if the version provided early is the same ?

is it possible to distribute it through a policy?

I tried to put the update.msi into a gorup policy and apply it that way. That didn't seem to work. Anybody got a solution for that?

I'm not sure about the Policy method of rolling this out, but I used to work for a company who would distribute Service Packs via login scripts. I have no idea how they wrote it, since that wasn't my job, but I saw it work a few times. If you do find out how to do this via Policy, please post it. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who would like to know how.

can of course be done. Just make sure that the folder is shared (the whole i386) and that you put it in the computer config, not the user config. sorry if stating the obvious, but that was all I did, and worked fine.

UPDATED: Less than a week before the expected release of Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2), servers operated by Conxion made the 101MB SP2 download available to the public at the request of Microsoft, which wished to seed the release to its closest partners. SP2 is the long-awaited second major collection of Win2K bug fixes, which was originally due about 2 months ago. According to the README notes accompanying this release, "Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 is a collection of updates that fixes issues in the Windows 2000 operating system. Windows 2000 SP2 can be applied to Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, and Windows 2000 with Server Appliance Kit."

Can anyone vierify that this is a final thing. I'm just wondering because there is not a sp2 web site as of yet. (sorry for my spelling)

Has anyone installed Service Pack 2 with Zone Alarm 2.6 on? Especially on Windows 2000 Server.....

Zone Alarm 2.6 works fine with SP2 on W2k Pro, so it shouldn't break W2K server, but I don't know for sure without a doubt.

Zone Alarm 2.6 works fine with SP2 on W2k Pro, so it shouldn't break W2K server, but I don't know for sure without a doubt.

Do you need to have Sp1 installed, to install Sp2?

No.

Couldn't you have just posted the URL?

heh

I looked at the Microsoft website but they say nowhere that they have released service pack 2 for Windows 2000. So the one all you fooks have downloaded and installed is the Release Candidate Service Pack 2. So not the official one! Or is someone out there who could prove me the opposite?

But the download is directly from MS web site, so it can't be RC.

I just talked with my Microsoft rep, and he assures me that the SP2 posted on this site, is not the official release version, and is only a RC.

Just an FYI..

Well... where else would you expect to get a Windows 2000 service pack, release candidate or not?

The indication that it is most likely "final" is that it is on the conxion servers. It probably wouldn't be there unless it was the final version.

this release IS the final SP2, even though it's not official yet.
http://www.wininformant....dex.cfm?ArticleID=21051

man don't ever trust an m$ rep

Anybody know whether MS will offically release it ? Still cannot access their SP2 web site mentioned here.

Sorry I mean when they will offically announce it.

After installing the SP2, I noticed that my other computer's internet access went down. Some how, my Remote Access Connection manager service is now dead. That's required to run internet connection sharing. :( It won't start for crap. Anyone run into the same problem? Any suggestions?

installed sp2 yesterday, computer has been up about 15hrs now so far so good no problems yet...

Here is some info on how to integrate the servicepack with the Windows install files for those that haven't installed Windows 2000 yet and want to do so with SP2.

http://support.microsoft.../articles/Q271/7/91.ASP

How do you do this with sp2? I tried and it said "not all files are avaible" Please advize.

1: Download the network version of w2ksp2.exe

2: With Winzip installed; right click on the SP2 file and select "Extract to..." and type C:\SP2

3: Create a folder in the C: directory named "Win2K" and copy all the files on the Win2k CD into this folder

4: Open a dos window and type "cd C:\SP2\i386\update\"

5: type "update -s:c:\Win2K" (no spaces between the switch and the location)

6: Burn the contents of the Win2K folder back onto CD and voila! you have a bootable Win2K CD with SP2 already applied

thanks!

I read this with GREAT interest! However, would this make the CD bootable in DOS mode as well? I.e. a clean install with nothing on the HD? Also, do you need to implement SP1 on the same image first, and how do you go about doing that?

Bootable means a BIOS that supports booting off a CD-ROM drive will recognize the media as something that can load an operating system. It doesn't have anything to do with DOS.

Win2K CD is bootable by default... so if I apply the SP2 on the CD's installation files and burn the new set on a CD, will the newly burned CD be bootable in nature to allow clean installs? Please clarify...

No. Check out this URL for instructions on how to create a bootable Windows 2000 CD:

http://www.windows2000fa...rchString=bootable%20cd

Hello, I tried your step by step instruction and it seems to have worked fine, except for one thing. The cd that I created wont boot. The original win2k cd boots fine but the new one doesn't, it fails to boot from cdrom. I did exactly what you said and I used Easy CD Creater 5 platinum, added the contents of the win2k folder to the cd and then burned it. Why wont it boot? I would Like to do a fresh install clean format.

just check the article out... according to that article, i'll need CDRWIN, but CDRWIN does NOT support my Lite-on burner.... so is there any other article that i can refer to?

to make the Cd bootable after slipstreaming Sp2 you have to use cdrwin ( demo available at www.download.com ) and follow directions on this page http://www.thetechguide.com/win2kbootcd/ screen shots and everything included there it works perfect if you follow the directions word by word.

How can I make the CD bootable using Nero Burning ROM version 5.0.4.8 or 5.5.1.8?

Thanks.

Absolutely no probs, made a clean install of win2k, slapped the sp on right away, and noticed an instant pickup in speed, also, memory management seems a definate area of improvement, as an average memory load of 200mb / 384mb has decreased to 130mb ave, i was dead impressed, also a distinct increase in framerates in all games (i.e quake 2 / black and white)

Wow I tested my HD speed with HDTach and Sisoft Sandra and they both show quite an increase in HD speed after installation of SP2.
Also now that SP2 is out Creative labs has no excuse for not releasing LW4.

Don't know how long this is going to be broken, but if you modify the SP2 link above to:

http://www.microsoft.com...cepacks/sp2/default.asp

you can see some ASP source. nothing to interesting, really, but source none the less

Gone

Does anybody know if you need SP1 already, or is SP2 a comprehensive install of both packs?

SP2 is a comprehensive update. You do not need SP1 installed. Good luck!

- Nate

Thanks alot! I figured that was the case, but wanted to be sure.

I just installed SP2. I'm experiencing a noticable speed increase in internet browsing. No problems so far.

I have had it installed since about 12 noon cst today and haven't had any ploblems except well I guess it will never end with Blackice defender. Filter Fail just as before . I guess the guys over at BID's
vacation time is over. It seems fine but everytime and even the beta
version from before that wouldnt all winodows update. It had filter fail as well. We will give them a few days. They havent asked me about beta for BID this time but I guess thats because my sub must of ran out. NS I guess that means I will get ZA since I have been running in XP for a while and it seems to be just a little bit more comprehensive. Anybody using anything else? ICF in XP still needs some
interface added to it and even if some havent gotten ZA to run in XP , I have and it tells me if a net fart blows by the server. No ID
on the term it just came to mind.

man my typing sux tonight LOL solly!
wouldn't "do windows update"

I use Tiny Personal Firewall me-self - much better than ZoneAlarm (Pro too). Requires a little more work to setup than ZA - but won't let silly programs like Bulletproof FTP or ClipMate contact "home" to verify my faked serial numbums.

i think i might give that a try. that pissed me off about zonealarm, but i didn't think it could be stopped. i might use that with my new DI-701 Router :)

There have been some problems reported with ZA 2.6 and W2K. I was getting spontaneous reboots. Still am. Afraid I may have to re-install my whole system.

You could solve that problem by not being a loser and paying for the software that you use. And don't give me any crap about how your paper route doesn't pay that much. Bulletproof is only $30.
