SP2 has reduced my machine to rubble
SP@ has made my machine unusable. About every 1/2 hr the machine locks up
and crashes. I'mm just plain peed off and microsoft has no useful help on the matter nor does the machine manufacturer. SP2 in my opinion is junk that microsoft should withdraw from the market |

Rob;
Is all your hardware and software compatible with SP-2? Compatibility with Windows XP is not enough. Was your computer well maintained and ready for SP-2 before installation: http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm SP-2 installs without problems on most well maintained computers. Lockups usually indicate driver problems. Hard drive problems also cause lockups. Go to the website of the hard drive manufacturer and download their hard drive diagnostics. Try step 5 on this link and check your memory: http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/slowcom.htm -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "rob" wrote in message ...

Then why don't you unstall SP2 and see if you get back to normal?
Try it again later on. I had to install and unstall a total of 4 times before it worked right. Keep sending in those error reports. I do beleive they actually work on those to modify the SP2 package.

Actually SP-2 has not changed and will not change. But the error reports are valuable to all users. Microsoft spends more resources on the most frequent errors. If you have an error, send it in and there is a resolution, you immediately get a link to the resolution. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Rodney Kelp" wrote in message ...
