SP2 Slows Down My System Substantially
After I install SP2 my systems becomes very slow. I have tried to install
SP2 different ways. Windows XP, then SP1 and updates, then SP2 Windows XP, then SP2 In both cases I began with a new formatted drive. The performance degredation affects everything, but especially demanding systems such as Photoshop and Visual Studio. The performance problem was immediate after installing SP2. I have a reasonable good system - PIV, 1.3 gig hertz, 1 gig ram. Help. Jay |

You are staying disconnected from the internet until you get SP2/Firewall on - right? You are using the latest hardware dribvers from the manufacturers of each of your hardware components - right? You did check for any BIOS upgrades needed for SP2 on your motherboard - right? -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- |
