OK, that’s odd and not one I’ve heard before. If I hear anything I’ll pass it along.

Yardman, did you download this from a bootleg source, like a BitTorrent? If so, uninstall it and get the official release.

I have seen that message before. It was fixed by an update released in December 2004.

I am skeptical about trying the WU version. because i was using the OEM of Rollop2. Here is a jpeg of my BSOCP.

No, I haven’t seen that at all, Yardman. I’ve been running the update for almost a month via a copy downloaded from the OEM System Builder site.

Hey Ed or you experiencing any Blue Screen of copy Protection “BSOCP”?

After Rollup 2 I can only watch HBO for 1 or 2 minutes before i get the BSOCP.

I also ask Thomas this question.

I don’t know the answer to that one, Ryan. Matt Goyer would probably have a better idea.

The page says the .NET framework is required. Do you happen to know how much of it is written in .NET?

Dwight, looks like the link was changed overnight. I’ve updated the post with the correct page. Thanks!

Ed,

Looks like there’s no download access to the rollup on that page you’re linking to — only instructions to get it fron Windows Update. But, I am not looking at it with a Media Center PC, so maybe it shows up when you use that.
