XP Sp2 Is it safe to upgrade now.

Have all the known issues been handled with SW and XP Sp2 Our IT wants to
make the switch soon and was asking so I wanted to be sure that I am not
going to regret it.

No problems here.

I haven't had any problems, I believe all is well.

SW seems to run better with SP2

 

No problems with any of our machines. Make sure you have the appropriate SP
on SW.

Thank you all I appreciate it.

Has the "issue" about inability to install more than two updates to any
application been fixed, or is that a separate update and/or hotfix that
one must still deal with after installing XP SP2?

 

I have one word of caution for XP SP2 - we just built a new box for
Solidworks, with XP Pro SP2 and Solidworks installation (2005 SP0.0
from CDs)failed with an error code, but appeared to have actually
installed Swx ok. When starting Swx, it could not find the dongle and
refused to run. Turns out that the dongle driver embedded in Swx is
not compatible with XP Pro SP2! Got sorted after a few calls to our
VAR - had to uninstall Swx, clean all registry entries, remove dongle
from printer port, download and install newer dongle driver from
Aladdin, then install Swx and finally replace the dongle. All is fine
now. Although I seem to remember that American copies of Swx are
dongle free anyway?

 

I think the network licensed versions use a dongle as do the
educational versions.
