andsome Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 My son could not be bothered to do as I suggested and go to an independent local supplier for his new computer a few months ago, so he bought an Evesham. SP2 will not allow him to surf the Internet. He has juggled about with settings, and eventually uninstalled it, and now everything is OK again. I seem to remember reading somewhere that one particular brand of computer had problems with SP2, would it by chance be Evesham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 I was asked to look at an Evesham the other day. It had a similar problem -> SP2, no Internet. What I did was install an old external Creative modem which I happened to have and forget about the internal one that Evesham installed.Result - spot on. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moon Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Have you seen this, andsome ?http://pcpitstop.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=63817Sure seems like an iffy update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Symantec get a mention in there, but their site claims that there is no problem. I have System Works 2003 and Personal Firewall 2003 and if anything, my computer runs better since installing SP2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 As the machine is new(ish), what do Evesham say about this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 As the machine is new(ish), what do Evesham say about this problem?I've asked the same question, but it's like talking to a brick wall. All that he says is that it doesn't matter, and everything's OK without SP2, talk about half soaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
