I'm trying to activate my internet banking from Woori Bank (or rather, was, it seems I have not done it in the allotted time so now I am not able to...but that is another story).

Anyway, when I go to the Woori Bank homepage, I get a Korean error message pop-up. All I can understand from it is that I can not use the page because I do not have Service Pack 2 installed. I click on the English option for the page and get the same Korean error message.

I went to the bank and they told me I need to have SP 2 installed or I simply can not use their website.

My computer is only a few months old, purchased new, in the sealed box, came with authentic Win XP Home CDs which I loaded. I KNEW I had Service Pack 2 installed, but I went to the MS Updates page anyway and tried to update it with SP2. Of course, I got the Microsoft message saying that SP2 is already installed and running correctly on my computer.

Oh, and I tried in both IE and Firefox, both of them that I updated at the same time to make sure that I have the latest versions.

Any reason WHY this stupid banking page can't seem to see that I DO have Service Pack 2 installed, and is there any way around it?

At this point in time I am pulling the typical "Stupid Korean thing" attitude towards it, but I really want there to be a better explanation.... Embarassed

Ah, but it's not *KOREAN* WinXP with SP2. You must immediately uninstall that inferior English version and install the superior Korean product.
Or, perhaps, set your default unicode language setting to Korean font - it's unlikely, but it might work.

Hmmm perhaps that is the problem? I did not install any Active X programs?
If I do install Active X, it should work?

Have you tried their telephone banking, out of curiosity, I may have to try that instead because apparently if you do not set up internet banking within 3 days of setting up your account you can not set up internet banking!! How ridiculous is THAT!? (I am still trying to re-set up the i-banking but may have to find an alternative)
