Thats great, because we have received warnings from both Siemens and Rockwell to not use Win XP SP2 . Maybe they are too cautious about that SP version.parky said:Hello,
I have just upgraded a Siemens PG with XPPro + SP2 & Step7 V5.3 & it works fine, ... note you may have to disable the firewall in SP2 not sure if this affects S7 but you need to for RSLinx, I have about twenty software packages on XPPro for PLC's & HMI's & so far no problems although be aware of some pitfalls of a new laptop...
They are P3 500's. ahhh the pain!!!
