Re: SP2 upgrade

[Ted Zieglar]

Glad to hear you had a good experience. Service packs are like Judgement Day
for users with systems that are misconfigured, poorly maintained or infected
with viruses and/or spyware. But for home users (at least) who have invested
the time to learn how to use their computers effectively, and who thoroughly
prepare for the upgrade, a successful transition to SP 2 is almost
inevitable.

That said, the upgrade experience also shows that the industry needs to do a
better job in instructing users in the proper operation of their systems.
Sure, it's the user's responsibility to learn how to use their computers,
but many are ill-equipped to understand what is expected of them.

Ted!
I did everything and prepared to the upgrade, but, I am still having very
weird problems and I tried to fix them different ways- it did not work...Any
fresh ideas will be more then welcome....
Every time when I am turning on my computer, when it loads up I can hear a
weird beeping sound coming out *FROM MY SPEAKERS* (- that's been checked
many times). If I will turn off my DSL modem- the sound will stop. After
turning it back on- sound continuously ****ing me off... :-/ I really do not
know what to do. I did everything possible..Oh, yeah, there is a way to
re-install the whole thing- but it is my very last option that I am not
going use yet...Still, my whole computer slowed dawn, every time when I am
closing Win- I am getting Iexplorer.dll error- iexplorer.dll failed because
windows is shutting dawn- and yes, I did verified files..I checked pc for
viruses with all kinds of software.... And I am just hopeless...But still
hope just a little bit, that someone here can help....
Also, I only 'have got this problem after installing sp2, before that I DID
all necessary preparations!
Thanks for your time...
