SP2

[Tim7169]

Anyone else had real problems this SP2?
I've spent most of the last week trying to get my PC back after it would not
open after a SP2 install.
I got a power problem message that just looped and looped!!

Run Adaware SE, Spybot S & D, CWShredder and a virus scan, defrag, clear
cache...best done in safe mode.

Wanna spend a few hours answering your own question?

Plus - go back just a few weeks in about ½ dozen of these windows related
newsgroups and see the plethora of 'problem'(s) posts.

What does this tell you about the health of the human race:
Get total numbers of people who were in a hospital, clinic, emergency
trauma center etc in the last month.
Do not distinguish between visitors, doctors staff, patients etc.
Also ignore if they are returning for a follow up.
You want just the total # of visits to those facilities in the last
month.
What can be concluded about the health of the human race?

The raw data in the link you gave tells about as much and is just as
worthless.

There are 200 Million private motor vehicles in the U.S. Each year
approximately 43,000 people die in vehicle accidents. A very small
percentage. This however, is of no comfort to the families that have lost a
loved one in a car accident..

As usual an insult is your response when an answer to a question is
beyond your capability!

Your brain seems to have a built in block against answers, If you cannot
figure out something so simple I am afraid I can't help you.
