After upgrading to SP2 RC1, my firwire card wont recocnize my DV . i had similar problem after upgrading to SP1 but salavaging drivers from W2K box and installing them solved the problem . however SP2 gives me Code10: Device cannot start error

this is very annoying..especially when i have to convert a video and take it with me at morning at 8am and time right now is 2am....

I downloaded it maybe a day or two ago. Thoughts:
1. It appears to have a hard time recognizing Symantec Corporate Edition virus protection, so I just told the security center I would take care of it.
2. I like the way it prompts you when a program wants to access the internet rather than just squashing it, this gives you an opportunity to grant access to programs that would otherwise just stop working.
3. IE now as pop-up blocking. Are there any other new features in IE?
4. Am I missing any features?

I like the information bar, instead of the Authenticode Active X dialog popping up and disturbing me it just appears in the info bar.

The only thing I don't like about the info bar is when a download is initiated by a META tag (like on download.com) you need to click the info bar then allow, which refreshes the page again and you need to wait for the download to intiate again.

Steam wont work with SP2, so screw the whole sh*t

I liked the new wireless thingy in it, which I hardly got the time to test before I had to uninstall it to get Steam to work..

That's a gaming thing right? I have heard many complaints that SP2 is affect gaming aspects.

I'm sure given time that all the conflicts will be worked out.
