Loaded SP2 on the 10th and largely it is ok except for some intermittent
fundamental problems.

- About 50% of the time on a reboot the machine stalls after the XP
splash screen and windows doesn't load. The monitor has a signal
supplied to it but nothing happens.

- The firewall keeps losing its exceptions and all of a sudden Cuteftp
or Dreamweaver or whatever will not work.

- A couple of crash dialog boxes when using Canon camera software.

- It seems slower. Enough that its beginning to be a nuisance.

Anyone else? Any cures for these?
