I have recently installed service pack 2 on my PC for about the 4th or 5th
time and due to the problems I am having with it have uninstalled it again.
It will install fine on my pc but each time I install it several programs
stop working. My pc is extremely slow to start up and numerous programs will
open but not respond. It is driving me crazy and I have to uninstall it every
time in order to get my pc working efficiently. However, I know how important
it is to have it on my pc and so I am wondering if there's anyone out there
who can help. I'm not great with a computer so any help would be appreciated.

Please be aware that support for XP w/SP1 ends 10 October.

It might help if you could tell us what programs 'stop working'.

I had problems with media player 10, which I was able to sort with help from
another discussion group. My kodak software didn't work as well as Ulead
software for digital photos. AOL broadband was continously getting
interrupted and kept signing off. My cdrw drive kept freezing. I was able to
run scandisk and disk cleanup but defragment wouldn't work. The whole system
was really slow in starting up to the point where I would have to turn it on
and go off to do something else while it started up because it took so long.
Hope this helps a bit, any more info needed please ask.
Thanks.
