I realize the "_" in the name is a special character (a no-no according to MS), but I've always used the underscore with no problems until SP3 was installed.
Not sure it has anything to do with SP3, but the install was the only change made to these machines of late. Note, the third WinXP machine is still listed correctly on the devices page as SYS_xx I'll try your suggestion anyway, Sek. The only way to distinguish between the two "sys" machines is the WCG install date. As an aside, the two affected machines are my two Quads, just in case someone else runs into the same situation. |

Could be YOUR security software is not so appy with XP-SP3.... Norton users might want to read this one in particular: http://windowssecrets.com/comp/080522/#story1 XP SP3 triggers false positives in security apps Norton users might want to get a decent AV product, lol I'm only running XP on one PC, but that hasn't had an issue at all
