I have USB drives on two separate computers, both USB hard drives and USB card readers an they are working fine after installing SP2. May just bet the printer drivers that need updating. -----Original Message----- From: Will Image [mailto:xillwillx () yahoo com] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 8:49 PM To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Subject: Re: [Full-disclosure] WIndows XP SP2 "breaks" things the only problem i've encountered so far is that my printer , a canon multipass f20 .. which has a flash card reader freezes when trying to view drives when i click on the 'my computer' icon ... also it freezes when i try to open a file from within a program using file/open.. when trying to get list of drives... im not sure if this is a driver problem with xp seeing the flash card as a drive... has anyone with usb/flash drives experienced this problem? --- "Gregory A.

Customers claim that SP2 is "breaking" previously working network behavior. Initial testing indicates that the cause is the "Internet Firewall" settings on SP2 which have been set to default closed! SO by FINALLY doing what ought to have been done ages ago (as often argued in posts to this andotherlists), Microsoft has inadvertently "broken" several customer network installations that got used to having transparency to network protocols that, after the installation of SP2, are no longer permitted. Yay Microsoft, you finally got it right (sort of). G -- Gregory A.
