Service Pack 2 and Office 2000 problems

[Jason Rovner]

Ok. According to the KB (Article842242) "After you
install Windows XP SP2, client applications may not
successfully receive data from a server. Following are
some examples: ...New mail notifications in some e-mail
programs."

Now I had assumed (first mistake) that this was on NON MS
products not Outlook as I would have imagined that MS
would have tested XP SP2 with its Office products BEFORE
they sent it.

In KB Article 883606 it states that "Microsoft has
confirmed that this is a problem in the Micosoft products
that are listed in the "Applies to" section...MS Windows
XP Professional Service Pack 2.

Now what I am interested in, is there some sort of
registry hak or hotfix that will get my 50 some users
receiving their emails automatically again?

Try turning the xp firewall off. Outlook 2003 works fine for me on 5
different machines.

Tried that and still no go.
Apparently it is a Office 2000 to XPSP2 issue.

And the statement of "upgrade to Office xp or Office 2004"
is not a viable solution.

I'd try the experts in the sp2 group or the outlook or office 2000 groups.

Installed SP2 on my computer at work this morning. Also have Office 2000
installed. Received e-mails post SP2. Did make sure I have all critical
patches for Office 2000 installed prior to the Sp2 installation--if that
makes a difference, dunno.

Will do thanks
