Windows XP SP2 & Stardock products

from Stardock Forums
I've heard a number of warnings that SP2 breaks applications, especially those that use IE. Are there any known problems with Stardock apps, like Stardock Central?

So far everything works fine for me.

I am NOT an expert by any means; and there are a lot of people on the boards who know more than me but: my advice to everyone is to dis-able your Windows Auto Update and wait.
Microsoft is using us as Beta-Testers for many new apps (some are Longhorn apps)! I'm going to wait until the patches for the Update start rolling out before I download SP2.

Thanks for the opinions. It looks like maybe if you can disable the XP firewall you can bypass a lot of the reported problems. Since I'm using ZoneAlarm that'd be no problem for me.

I wouldn't use ZAP if you paid me...
(when I did use it.. it seemed to attract hackers.. LOL)

No probs with SP2 even with firewall active..

BTW I also use nod32 antivirus and TDS3 no conflicts yet

Got SP2

Works fine with ZonaAlarm Pro and AVG.

Doesn't work with WindowBlinds :(

My taskbar, and Start Menu are not skinned. Also I cannot expand start menu folders (i.e. start/programs/my apps/(can't get here) )

Unloading WindowBlinds everything works fine.
