Possibly need to run Retrieve software updates and update the IAK which is 
not part of the fixpack unless you run Warp Connect and even then it has a 
whole new mpts and TCPIP update fixpack for Warp Connect.

Don't know about no plugins but they appear to work for people at work. I 
don't do multi-media here for the BBS but haven't heard of any problems short 
of the NS202 prior to April had some problems and there is a new plugpack. 
Have you ever installed the Beta NS2?
