xp sp2 driving me NUTS

[Emil]

Ever since I installed sp2 on my XP computer it's freezing on me, pre sp2 I
never had one crash.

Also everything is a lot slower.browsing directories, clicking on programs,
even my mouse cursor..everything seems to have a pause before it kicks
in.and this is a fresh install.



Is anyone else having similar issues?



When sp3 coming out? Soon I hope!!!

I am having the same problem with post SP2 freezes. See
several prior posts by others for comments.

I had similar problems. Uninstall SP2 and see if you are back to normal. I
did this several times. After the forth install and sending many error
reports they seemed to have fix my problems. Make sure you send the error
report and not just cancel them.
Uninstall for a while then try it again in a couple weeks.

PS: Don't make the mistake of reinstalling a CD version or harddrive copy.
Do a live fresh install every time you reinstall XP2.

So you got an answer to the error reports?

If you did not, then nothing was "fixed" on Microsoft's side - just yours
where SP2 was concerned. It is the same SP2 that was released several
months ago.

The deal is, most people do not take the time to "prepare" their system for
such an upgrade. You are almost installing a totally different OS when you
install SP2. It's additianal features and changes are, in some cases, that
extreme IMHO.
