SP2 ,,, Control Panel and Even Adjust The Clock
I just installed SP2 .. When I have a few NET
applications going, and try to like, look at a calander by right clicking on the clock in lower task bar, nothing happens and I cannot go back and look at anything .. Happens on control panel also but seems to start with the clock thing . I have to reboot ... FYI I have running XP, Norton, ADsubtract, SPYsubtract and CheckiT86... |

You should only have XP running.

That said, it does sound like the OP has too many programs and probably processes running in the background, SP2 or not. Some of those programs may even conflict with each other. Start with a clean boot and, except for your antivirus and firewall (which you must keep running), try adding one program at a time and see how the computer responds. You also didn't say how much RAM you have; make sure you have at least 256MB - 512MB is better if you normally like to run a lot of programs. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=310353 - How to Perform a Clean Boot in Windows XP Information on startup items and processes: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm http://www.blackviper.com/ Malke -- MS MVP - Windows Shell/User Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" |
