Yep. Many issues with SP2, but very hard to diagnose, depending on all the

Here's a quote from a Consumer Reports Bulletin that points out one of the
strangest I've heard about.
" The Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop has a unique problem: Its performance slows
by an astonishing 90 percent when Microsoft's Windows XP Service Pack 2
security update is installed. Dell has a remedy for the problem, but you'd
be hard-pressed to find it in the company's online tech-support information.

It could also be a hardware problem, such as disk controller or hard drive.

or maybe an old driver..one reason i never upgrade old stuff...by the time you figure out all the old problems y ou could have built a totally new machine.

I know I know...you thought you heard this last from me but just wanted to
share this info.
I got really pissed today and started uninstalling crap like a madman, after
NOTHING would start and the computer wouldn't even shut down.
I got rid of the entire MS Office Suite...including that lame update but
