IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR WINDOWS XP USERS
Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2
Summary and Recommendation: Updating to Service Pack 2 generally will cause no problems with cdc32, EXCEPT in these cases:
- If you use the multi-chat features of CDC32, and notice there is a performance problem, email cdchelp@dwyco.com and we can provide pointers to software you can use to disable the problem code in SP2. Generally we haven't noticed a problem since we redesigned some of the connection handling in CDC32. We still provide this pointer in case you are having troubles.
- Your video capture drivers are old. We have had sporadic reports of people's cameras not working after an SP2 update. Usually a driver update will fix the problem. Visit the camera manufacturer's website to check for updates.
- You attempt to use the Windows provided "Windows Firewall". We can reproduce this problem in-house where the windows firewall will drop some traffic after a period of use. The results are messages from CDC32 indicating that it cannot log in to the pal server. The problem can be solved by rebooting, but a better solution is to use one of the many third-party personal firewalls available, such as Zonealarm, Kerio personal firewall, Sygate personal firewall, to name a few (these are the ones we have tested and use on a day to day basis for testing.) When you use these other firewalls, you MUST TURN OFF THE WINDOWS FIREWALL.
