----- Reprinted from YORK, author: Tianyuan
With the approach of the official version of the SP2 Chinese, the Tianyuan will summarize some questions and solutions encountered in the previous upgrade version. I hope that when the Chinese official version is coming, everyone can upgrade smoothly. Enjoy the new features and high security brought by SP2.
Problems in the upgrade process:
1. Third-party software / plug-in reasons can't be upgraded
Due to the SP2 in XP, the increased security features include the related functions of the malicious website shield and the filter pop-up filter, which may conflict with the third-party IE plugin installed in the current operating system. It is known that 3721 Internet access assistant plug-in and Java virtual machine plugins can cause this problem, and the solution is to uninstall 3721 and Java virtual machine plugins. Of course, maybe there is a third-party plug-in that there will be such a problem, so the Tianyuan recommends that you will be fully unloaded from all third-party plugins that will be connected to Outlook, IE, and resource browses before upgrading, and then upgrade installation.
The third-party plugin for browser commonly used in China is as follows:
3721 Assistant Baidu Search Google Tools CNNIC Chinese Domain Analysis Tool SINA Tools Automatic Filling Tools Java Virtual Machine Plugin
The user can perform selective deletion according to its own machine environment, refer to the top table, and then upgrade again. Such third-party plugins generally have a separate delete program that can be found in "Control Panel" - Add / Remove Programs.
2. System file protection function in anti-virus software / firewall causes unacceptable
Since the replacement of the Windows XP system file is involved in the SP2 upgrade process, some third-party anti-virus software / firewall automatically protects the critical file without replacement during the upgrade process, thereby causing the upgrade to be unable. Therefore, it is best to close all anti-virus / firewalls, unnecessary applications, and disconnect the network connection to prevent the virus from being essential and upgrade in a single environment. 3. Account permission problem causes upgrade failure
Please upgrade using the administrator account of the system (the default name is Administrator, of course you may rename), not other accounts (even if the account has administrator privileges). Otherwise, there may be some weird problems in the upgrade.
4. Third-party XP interface landscaping software using StyleXP causes the key file to be replaced / modified, resulting in upgrade failure
Since STYLEXP and other third-party beautification software modify some key system files, it will not determine whether the XP before the upgrade is a regular XP version when it is upgraded. The most common problem, the Boot.ini file is modified.
This file is under the root of your system (generally in the C-drive root directory), you can hide the property file by default, you can "Resource Browser -" Tools - "folder option" - " View "In the" hidden protected operating system file "and" Hidden known file extension "option," OK "to view the contents of the Boot.ini file.
Use Notepad to open Boot.ini and find that the default startup option is modified.
Multi (0) Disk (0) RDisk (0) Partition (1) / Windows = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" / FastDetect / NoExecute = Optin /kernel=xlogo.exe
Remove the above red words, retain multi (0) disk (0) RDisk (0) partition (1) / windows = "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" / FastDetect
(Note, here is just examples, your hard drive, partition is likely to be different from me, just make sure that the final startup parameter contains / fastdect, then restart the operating system after the other parameters will be restarted, SP2 can be upgraded smoothly . 5. Upgrade from the early SP2 Beta version to the official version:
Since Microsoft emphasizes security factors in SP2, this patch package is released, in addition to the upgrade of inherent patches, it also has a milestone developed by Microsoft from ease of use of sexual operating system to security operating system. significance. In order to ensure the safety and stability of the official version, Microsoft has released multiple test versions of 2135, 2149, 2180, etc. before this SP2 official release.
Many friends who like to touch new technologies and participating in the evaluation have been installed and tested. However, due to various factors, can SP2's official version correctly identify these test versions? At least in the 2180 test version, the test version of the upgrade needs to do the following work.
Regedit opens the registry, find the hkey_local_machine / software / microsoft / windows nt / currentversion master key to remove the CSDVERSION and CURRENTBUILDNUMBER 2 keys.
Then restart (note that if you do not restart, you can cause the file to be used when you remove Atapi.sys below.
After restarting, delete the atApi.sys directly or change your name.
Then you can upgrade a smooth upgrade, otherwise the prompt of the Atapi.sys file may appear during the upgrade process to fail to fail. Problem solution
The problem that may occur during the upgrade process is about so much. Since SP2 improves security features, after the upgrade, occasionally cause some third-party software that cannot be used, network connection failure, let us look substantially?
1. When you use IE, you can't open the link, but use a third-party browser (such as MYIE, Mozilla)?
Friends who have encountered this situation are caused by browser plugins such as 3721 before the upgrade. The solution is to disable the pop-up filter of other third-party plugins. (During the test process, the Tianyuan discovers Google tool strip can be used normally in SP2, but it is recommended to turn it off)
2. The anti-virus software system does not work after installing SP2, or cannot be upgraded?
Changes made by Windows XP SP2 are mainly concentrated in the following four areas: network protection, memory protection, email security, and browser protection, the most affected part includes PRC (remote program call), DCOM (distributed component object mode), Windows firewall, memory protection. After installing SP2, a "security center" will be added, which shows the current "firewall" and "viral protection". This is what Microsoft's officially said - anti-virus authentication.
Some anti-virus software cannot be properly identified or supported by SP2 when writing. The following is roughly listed for reference:
Symantec Antivirus (Norton): SP2 will report that the anti-virus software has been installed, but its status is unknown;
Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition: SP2 can be identified, can support
Jinshan drug tyrant: SP2 prompt cannot find anti-virus software, do not know, sweat
Kaspersky anti-virus stand-alone version (Russia): can identify, can use;
Rising: Can recognize, support; F-Secure: Can recognize, support;
McAfee: Can recognize, support, but cannot upgrade; (after this problem solution is seen)
Panda: Can recognize, support
Trend micro: can identify and support;
Domestic three major domestic anti-virus, I only tested two, KV3000 could not be tested because there was no genuine disk.
3. After the SP2 is installed, CS can't play online. After entering the game, everything is normal. But after selecting the task, the mouse cannot be active. People can't be active;
Since SP2 changes in security, there is a problem with considerable part of the game run in SP2. This has a problem that the game manufacturer launches patch, but also the patch of CS has already prepared here for SP2. CD4.23.1 .1 version downloaded to other games, I believe that the SP2 official version is launched, each game manufacturer will launch the patch in the first time, so stay tuned. 4. Unable to display certain sites' verification code (XBM graphics file support problem)?
This problem is talking in detail in my other article, please refer to
5. Shared file transfer in the LAN is very slow!
In a local network environment, 2 XPs have SP2, one containing Samba Linux, the problem is that any XP is very slow from Linux download file (normal before upgrade), and 2 XPs The transmission file is normal.
This problem is due to the SP2 upgrade, some improvements in sharing security, and the old version of Samba is not caused by its support. At present, the Samba Development Team has not given a solution, but I believe that in the new version of Samba can solve this problem, you can pay attention to the Samba Group Home Page: http://www.samba.org.
6. Many procedures are working properly, and the network is normal, but can not be upgraded?
Because SP2 security has indeed a lot, especially for components, it is more stringent. Therefore, many programs originally operated in SP1, in SP2, it is necessary to manually set permissions.
Take the McAfee anti-virus software mentioned above as an example:
Type "DCMCNFG.EXE" in the Start → Run dialog, or select Administrative Tools from the Control Panel, you can also open the Component Services window, "Control Taigang Directory" - "Component Service" - " Computer "-" My Computer "-" DCOM Configuration "project, find" frameworkservice "item (this is used by McAfee anti-virus scan, right click to open the property window, switch to" Security "tab," start and activate Permission "Custom", then "Edit", then "Edit", select "Add", enter your Windows login account and System account, two accounts Local activation "permissions, final" determination ".
The same reason, when you encounter other programs that cannot be upgraded, you can also check the configuration of DCOM.
Although the steps are still more troubles, I want to come out after the SP2 official version, the vendor door will introduce the patch bag to the SP2 to deal with these problems, but the beginning of the stage, or by our own manual.
7. Unable to view some web or CHM files and MSDN Library issues
Some machines will appear after upgrading to XP, or the CHM file, or the CHM file, and install Microsoft's MSDN only see a blank situation. The solution to this class problem can be fixed by clearing the system C: /: / documents and settings /
NIC drivers need to be updated, please visit the network card's homepage OR Microsoft's Windows Update, upgrade your driver.
In the current upgrade, the problem encountered is these. I hope this article can help you to upgrade your friends normally and enjoy the new features and higher security brought by XP SP2.
