Problems after SP2 - Third post and no answer yet!

Hello,
I have installed the SP2 by downloading the full installation file, and
after this i have some problems:
- Windows media player does not work at all. Any explanation??
- Every time i start a program a "Run As window" appears asking for the user
account to be used, this is really annoying!!! how can i get rid of this??
- When i double click the Norton Antivirus sistem tray icon a message saying
"the there is no program associated to the file" appears, what does this
mean??

In addition i found that before the SP2 the task manager showed a memory
usage (PF Usage) of ~120M just after starting; now with SP2 it is ~150M and
no other programs have been installed and nothing new appears in the start
window in msconfig. Does SP2 increase that much the memory load??

I would apreciate any help on this matters, in the mean time i will continue
checking if there are more issues.

Regards,

RAMIRO ARIAS
