Windows SP2 and Explorer

I loaded up SP2 today and everything seemed to work fine until I tried to
open IE 6.0. It opened for a couple of seconds then shut down again. I shut
off Paniware's pop-up stopper and Norton Internet Security 2003 to no avail.
It seems ridiculous that MS can't even provide compatibility with IE. I
removed SP2 and everthing is good again. Any ideas here other than waiting
six months for MS to get their act together?

I had the same problem. I couldn't access my E-mail either. I couldn't even
access Microsoft to get help. I had to uninstall the SP2. I am now in the
process of getting on-line help from Microsoft. They advised me to go thru
the "safe mode" of installation but I couldn't work thru it. I had to
restart my computer in safe mode and then try to download the upgrade,
unfortunately, once I was in safe mode there was no internet connection so I
couldn't load it. Very frustrating. I am awaiting their reply.
