Rick It has wrecked the onboard LAN in my A7V8X. I had to put in a PCI LAN card. Others, not all of them Asus users, have reported similar problems. In my case, the Broadcom LAN gets given an inappropriate IP address. SP2 has also screwed up my Panasonic laser printer. Gives constant "Paper jam" errors in Micros**t Word. Fine with everything else! What you describe is completely impossible - a driver can not hard the hardware of your network card or cause your printer to JAM. While it is possible that the drivers for the network card might need to be reinstalled after sp2 the paper jam is comical. Did the weather change after you installed SP2? Is it raining now and it wasn't raining before? Blame that on Microsoft too. One suggestion is that the new USB drivers installed by SP2 have screwed up more than one bit of hardware. Before you dismiss such suggestions, you might care to do a bit of research. Were you, for example, the owner of a Psion Wavefinder, you would certainly know that SP2 can screw up hardware. As to my printer, I can only say that between not having problems and having them the only change I made was to apply SP2. __________________________________________________ _____________________ Michael Kenward Words for sale |

A bit of research has suggested to me that the Psion Wavefinder's problems predate SP2 http://www.spidersweb.freeserve.co.u...nderpro blems http://mobileopera.com/wavefinder http://www.wavefinder.co.uk/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000186.html Wheras googling for http://www.google.co.uk/search?sourc...XP+SP2+problem or http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=psi...&start=10&sa=N Returns no actual reports specific to psion wavefinder Windows XP Service pack 2 problems. Where can I find information about SP2 screwing up hardware? As for your printer, have you tried rolling back (de-installing SP2) to see if that cures the paper jams? Or have you tried the printer on another non-SP2 machine? If neither of those are possible, or conclusive, try turning the computer off altogether, or unplugging the connection between the computer and the printer, and using the printer's self-test function. That will enable you to rule out any problems with the paper path that may have occured. HTH -- Charlie |

My motherboard is a K8V SE Deluxe which uses Marvell onboard 10/100/1000 LAN. XP SP2 caused me no problems with that hardware. -----End Quoted (and cut) Message----- Thanks. I should also have added that SP2 did not mess up the LAN on my A78NX-VM motherboard. That came pre-messed, and how I sorted it is another story. __________________________________________________ _____________________ Michael Kenward Words for sale |

Since I installed SP2, TWO planes have crashed in Russia - surely that can't be coincidence? If there is a link between your PC and the software on board those planes, then if I were you I would go into hiding. In my case, the printer comes with a software interface that talks to the PC. The printer hardware works just fine. It is just MS Word and the machine that don't like one another. All other software is working as it did pre SP2. __________________________________________________ _____________________ Michael Kenward Words for sale |
