We had a problem with Win2K SP3 and the Google toolbar, apparently causing Internet connectivity. At the time, uninstalling the toolbar cured the problem and I didn't pursue it any further.

The machines are now on Win2K SP4, and seem to run the toolbar happily... there were some initial printer driver problems with SP4 - blue screen when accessing the affected printers! Updated drivers (eventually!) from the printer manufacturer sorted that.

It's worrying, isn't it, that we are used as unwitting/unwilling beta testers...!?

All the problems we experience are at our own risk, and Micro$haft sit there raking in the profits... ho hum!

I believe that Micro$haft should be obliged to declare the compatibility issues during the pre-installation system scan, which would then give the user an insight into potential conflicts... perhaps!! ;o)
