While I'm at it!!! Compatibility Layers are broken too!

evil Homer
The recent Application Compatibility Update has also been partly broken under the installation of SP2. Only Windows 95 and NT4 SP5 can be selected on the Compatibility Layer on program properties. Windows 98 is now missing! Maybe reinstalling the app update will fix it, haven't tried it yet.

Checking Email With School Account

ahearnb
Ok, I'm not an idiot. . . at least I don't think so. I go to the University of Illinois and have checked my email through Outlook Express for 2 years now. I have to change my outgoing mail server to my ISP when I come home, but I leave the incoming mail server the same - students.

I am loving Office Xp. But........

Cardinal
Well someone said Office from version 95 onwards is all the same. Aesthetically it might be similar, but underneath it is not at all. Word 2002 (XP) makes even writing essays a pleasure, (almost). I can't comment on stability issues yet.
