Barbara,
You are the first "geek" I am aware of to install XP SP2. Some of us are avoiding it. My clients' IT people are also avoiding (for now). Why did you install it?
>>I Googled ["windows xp sp2" localhost]. The first hit (
http://www.jcxsoftware.com/jcx.corporate6/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=34 ) specifically claims that the update at the link I provided fixes the issue. The MS link says nothing about "except 127.0.0.1".
>>
>>Have you actually tried that update?

>I have installed the patch and no, it does not fix the problem.
Imagination is more important than knowledge
