Crystal Reports and XP SP2

With the release of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, some people may be concerned about how this effects their Crystal Reports applications. According to the Business Objects website, Business Objects officially states that Crystal Reports is not supported for SP2. It is recommended that you do not install SP2 for machines running Crystal Reports. That being said, it appears that most installations haven't really run into problems. I've searched the newsgroups/forums and  have only seen a couple posts  relating to SP2 problems. In general, if you do install SP2 on a machine with Crystal Reports (even though Business Objects does not support this), then the best thing to do is to turn off the personal firewall. The personal firewall can cause the most problems and should be disabled.

I've run into what I believe is a SP2 issue. Have a client, one of my fellow (now ex-) employees designed a visual basic .NET application (using framework 1.0375) with reports being created with Crystal Reports.

The clients printer broke monday and they just got it back yesterday and now the printing is wierd.

When they view the report in the viewer, everythign is fine and saving it to a PDF works fine as well. But when they print it, only the top left corner of the report prints. - imagine a page divided into 4 sections - 2 rows, 2 columns. the only piece that prints is the first column, first row.

I looked at their system and I believe over hte weekend their tech guys installed XP service pack 2. She can print anything else just find, it's just this app that the printing is incorrect.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

- I don't, at this point, have the option of upgrading the .NET framework because my boss thinks that that shouldn't be a problem and that upgrading causes too many issues.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
