    HI!
    To avoid conflicts disable the Internet Connection Firewall.
    Have Sygate downloaded and after you disable the Internet Connection Firewall install Sygate.
    From Microsoft:

    thanks guys, @timw :) ive tryed sp2 but it uses to much ram. i know i should upgrade but i just want the less 'bill gates' i can get.

    By buying a pc with Windows installed, you've already had too much of Bill Gates, lol.

    @ Bladesofhalo im just sick of that stupid smq.exe or that blue star thingo if you dont have sp2 it gives you that exe on the toolbar ,,, "i hope you know what iam talking about!"
    then i have to kill it and del it as quick as i can before the prefect exe for it loads it again.... turns into a game of tag. :mad: nothing personal about Bill! lol

    If sp2 uses to much ram you need some more, you really do need sp2. ed

    Ed is right....to keep abreast of system security issues these days it is almost mandatory to always upgrade your O/S whenever good Ol' Bill gives you the chance!

    My only critisism of SP2 is that they shafted us on IEEE 1394 (firewire) connections. The drivers used in SP1 are non existent in SP2 and data transfer has been slowed to 100 kbp/sec, although there is a MS download available now to resolve this. Use USB 2.0 and there are no such drama's!!
