Default problem with sp2

I just installed sp2 in my Toshiba Satellite laptop which already had xp home
sp1. Installation seemed to go fine, programs seem to work ok, but I cannot
view system info. When I open the My Computer window and click on View
System Information, I get an hourglass like something is happening but the
system info window never comes up. Same thing happens when I go to Control
Panel and click on System. Can you help?

Default problem with sp2

Hello. I clicked on your link and have no idea what the stuff was that came
up. Anyhow, in the meantime I had tried again to view system info, and for
some reason had to walk away from the computer right after clicking on "View
System Information." When I came back about a half-hour later the system
info window was showing just as it should, and it has worked fine (comes up
quickly) ever since. Thanks for trying.

You ran the reg file I sent you, and it fixed it.

Sorry, Mark, but that is not what happened. It somehow fixed itself BEFORE I
clicked on your link. Apparently it had to conduct a search that took a long
time in order to display the system info the first time, but once that was
completed it has worked quickly ever since (some trials of which were also
before clicking on your link). I clicked on your link out of curiosity, and
quickly closed the resulting page when I saw what it was. Thanks for your
interest.
Sincerely, NewBiker
