I don't usually trust beta's in general, ESPECIALLY not on a service pack!
I'd say just wait till the real thing comes out, no rush

Oooops, who in there right mind would install a beta of a service pack, espically from Microsoft. Wait until the full version comes out and even then do some testing first before you install it.

I would install it... but NOT on a computer that actually exists!

You should've tried VMware and saved yourself a lot of trouble by installing it virtually.

It has a lot of security features that do not work that well. I installed it on a throwaway box and they have a lot of work to do.

Any idears how to change the security settings?

For the beta...........no. I assume it will be easier to do in the final version. The only security issues I had problems with was the annoying firewall that I dont need. I disabled it but it still gave me problems so I said the hell with sp2.

i just installed build 2082 and it is much betetr than build 2055. If you dont have it already get build 2082.

btw, to fix the active x problem go to tools>options>security then for each of the four things go to custom, then click reset near the bttom of the window and it will reset teh defaults which fixed the active x problems for me, but since getting build 2082 i havent received one error

I had 2055, and it wouldn't let iTunes or and online shockwave or flash games connect and I tried everything so I said screw it and did a SysRestore.
