First, do no harm
A service pack is supposed to fix things, naturally, but sometimes in the course of doing so, it may actually create new problems. SP1 was fairly well mannered and did a lot more good than harm. Still, there were items for SP2 to clean up:
- SP1 broke some Winsock applications; SP2 corrects the problem.
- SP1 caused some digital cameras to hang the computer when used with NetMeeting; it's corrected with SP2.
- SP2 restores some of the speed SP1 caused Norton AntiVirus 7.0 to lose.
- SP1 often interfered with rejoining a domain on a multihomed computer; SP2 fixes this.
- SP2 remedies the SP1-induced problem where the Multilingual User Interface converts the language of some menu items to English.
- Upgrading Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Service Edition to Window 2000 Server with Windows 2000 SP1 stores the incorrect version information in the Registry; SP2 ensures that the correct version is entered in the Registry.
- SP1 didn't update the file Fp30reg.dll correctly; SP2 does.
