Solution for network failure caused by Windows XP SP2

Users who install xp system are upgraded to SP2, but after the upgrade, there are advantages and disadvantages. The upgrade is of course a step further than the previous system. But the faults that come with it can't be underestimated. Recently, many friends have reported that after installing SP2, some very normal web applications have had strange problems. So, is SP2 really as full of BUG as everyone thinks? The following questions about the problems encountered after applying SP2, answering the causes and solutions one by one, I hope that in the process of using SP2 Some help.

Because Windows XP SP2 security design "starting point" is too high, the system has opened a lot of security services by default, so many users can not quickly adapt to SP2, which leads to some application problems frequently appear. Solving these problems also requires some skill.

OE can't display pictures

Some friends who use Outlook Express report that messages received through OE can't display the pictures in the mail, but the same mail received with Foxmail does not have this problem.

The first thing to say is that this problem is caused by the SP2's specially developed attachment manager security policy for OE.

We know that spam cannot be replied because spam has no purpose. The sender does not know whether the email address is authentic or not. If the recipient replies to spam, it is equal to telling the sender. The person's mailbox is valid.

But it doesn't seem to be a problem to reply to spam now, because the sender will send some images directly saved on the server as email attachments. The normal OE will automatically receive the email from the web server. Download this image, because the download process will be recorded by the server, so the sender can easily know which mailbox is in use. In SP2, in order to prevent this trick, the function of displaying the image attachment when the OE receives the mail is prohibited by default, which is why the OE cannot display the mail picture.

Solution: When receiving the email, click on the message in the middle of the email window. Click here to download the image & rdquo; To display the image for all messages, click on the <quo;Tools →Options> in OE to cancel the "Block images and other external content in HTML emails" option in the "Security" tab. The choice is fine.

Sharing failure

After installing SP2, some LAN users can find the shared printer that can be searched and printed. It can't be found in the network neighborhood.

This is because after Windows XP is installed, Windows Firewall is fully enabled by default, which means all network connections for computers running Windows XP SP2, including wired LAN and wireless LAN, dialing, and Windows Firewall is enabled for virtual private network (VPN) connections. At the same time, this problem occurs because the Windows Firewall defaults to prohibiting <;file and printer sharing".

Solution: Enter the “Local Area Connection” property window for the LAN connection, click the “Advanced” button on the “Advanced” tab, and the “Windows Firewall” pop-up will pop up. In the interface, check the “Files and Printer Sharing” option in the “Programs & Services” tab of the “Exceptions” tab settings screen.
