Subject: WIndows XP SP2 "breaks" things
the only problem i've encountered so far is that my
printer , a canon multipass f20 .. which has a flash
card reader freezes when trying to view drives when i
click on the 'my computer' icon ... also it freezes
when i try to open a file from within a program using
file/open.. when trying to get list of drives... im
not sure if this is a driver problem with xp seeing
the flash card as a drive... has anyone with usb/flash
drives experienced this problem?
