David,

If you dont have anything constructive or informative to say, why bother!

This is very unusual. the only problems we have come across in this newsgroup is when Kelly (our babushka) tried to apply a plastic patch of SP2 to her face and it failed. She is very suicidal now and never shows her face in the public.

Hope this doesn't prove useful!

When I installed SP2 I started having numerous problems, it tried to
reinstall Microsoft applications, I started having hardware driver crashes,
hardware acceleration on the sound card failed and gave terrible sound etc.

But the main problem was that is made my PC virtually unuseable, it took
upto 10 minutes to boot up and although it is a P4 2.6ghz with 1gb of RAM it
ran like my old Pentium 75mhz, constantly chugging away with the hard disk &
CPU running at full speed and getting nowhere fast.

The only solution was to uninstal SP2 and reinstall XP, defragging etc only
makes thinks a little bit better.

My PC now runs fine, I would love to know when Microsoft will be sorting
this out and until then SP2 is going nowhere near my PC.
