Hi,
I installed SP2 last Friday, and since then, my notebook
has, for some reason, frozen up several times since then.
Without warning, at random times, etc. Does anybody know
of any known issues/bugs in SP2 that might be able to
easily fix this? Any info at all would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Visit the support website of the manufacturer of your notebook,
search for the latest Windows XP compatible drivers for your
video adapter, download and install them. Be sure to uninstall
the old video adapter drivers before installing the new ones.

Carey,
Thanks for the reply...would this be the "ATI Video Driver
and Control Panel"? If so, I have found the new one. How
do I go about uninstalling the old one?
