Bad cow! [just kidding]. I followed your lead and installed SP2. MS should warn a user that he will have to click approval in X minutes - they seem to assume we stick around for the upgrade. SP2 installed Ok and I allowed rebooting. After that... no icons in sys tray except spkr and lan. No program [NAV, Spybot] would run. Nothing happened. task mgr would not open nohow browsers would not open puter would not shut down no apparent hd activity Had to push the pc power button to turn pc off Then I turned power back on and now everything works. The MS firewall is disabled [despite their dire warnings] and ZA is alarmed that so many new processes try to get on the internet. :) I'll reboot a couple more times to see if it's slower than before SP2.
