I am one of the many people with the problem of Win XP with SP2 sticking upon loading
agp440.sys. I am now back to SP1, and everything's OK. And that's fine with me, although a time
will come I'm sure when Microsoft will support updates to XP only if you have SP2. I have an Asus
P3B-F motherboard with a 1.4 GHz Tualatin and an ATI Radeon 7500 video card, not the newest of
technology but a solid reliable combination. I have read hundreds of complaints about this
agp440.sys/SP2 problem, on all kinds of motherboards, processors and video adapters. The
problem is obviously something in the implementation of SP2. Microsoft's "solution" to disable
the agp440 service is idiotic, since it leaves you with a generic VGA driver that does not allow any
other video drivers to be installed. Should we March on Redmond to force the creators of the
problem to fix the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi David--

I was able to boot into safe mode, and was able to uninstall SP2 from the Add/Remove Programs
function in the Control Panel. I was actually surprised that removal put my system back exactly
the way it was before the SP2 install. If you can boot to safe mode, give it a try.
