Title: Users Report More Trouble With Windows XP SP3

The latest service pack for Windows XP continues to cause problems for users. According to an online user forum, the latest glitch in Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) causes problems with the remote desktop access feature of Windows Home Server.

On the We Got Served U.K.-based Windows user forum, Windows XP users running Windows Home Server, Microsoft's home storage and local networking server, report that SP3 is cutting off their access to the server from their PCs. The remote desktop access feature would ask users to add their home server's Web site address in order to access it even after they already had, users reported.

According to a user on Microsoft's Windows Home Server forum, the problem arose because Windows XP SP3 by default disables Terminal Services Active X control as part of its security model. The user, ColinWH, posted a fix for the problem that outlines how to enable the Terminal Services ActiveX control in Internet Explorer.

The Windows Home Server problem is not the first that users-- or Microsoft-- have had with the latest XP service pack. Scheduled for release on April 29, Windows XP SP3 was held up for a week by Microsoft because of incompatibilities between the service pack and one of Microsoft's own applications, retail chain management software called Microsoft Dynamics RMS. The problem even affected the Windows Vista Service Pack 1 set of updates.

Then, after the service pack's release on May 6, users reported that XP SP3 put some AMD-based PCs into endless reboots. Eventually, the problem was identified as affecting certain Hewlett-Packard PCs, and Microsoft posted information for fixing it on the Web.

Microsoft could not be immediately reached for comment on Monday.

Couldn't be reached for comment? Get out of here. They can always be reached, they just don't have a comment right now.

God is always good!

My guess is that Microsoft is trying to get people to throw their hands up in disgust and upgrade to Vista.

I had some patches pushed unto my Vista today. The computer would no longer come up after rebooting. I had to roll it back to its May 9 state before I was able to get my desktop back.

I hate to tell ya, after a perfect year with Vista Home Premium, conflicting updates were sent by Microsoft starting in late Feb, then in March and the final nail in the coffin came in early April.

The updates were prep for a SP1 package for Vista that conflicted with drivers and corrupted the boot up.

I have everything restored to Jan, but I will eventually have to re-run my OS to clean and replace the corrupted files.

You ain't telling me nothing I don't already know. Vista is a piss pour operating system that literally millions of people have rejected, which is why I think Microsoft would sabotage an XP upgrade to get people to change over.

A buddy of mine owns a computer repair shop. He also builds custom PCs. His sales have increased significantly since the release of Vista. The number one demand for the new systems is that they must have XP.

When XP first came out, there were plenty of bugs. Vista is no different. Like I said, it was fine until the garbage updates.

The main problem with Vista is, you need more memory, and much software and hardware isn't compatible.

That's a huge and unacceptable problem as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to run out and spend another $500 (or whatever it costs nowadays) to repurchase MS Office or any other program I have and it is unreasonable for MS to expect it.

I'll stick with XP until it's time for me to purchase the latest Mac.
