SP2 causes splash screen problems

[Alice]

I've just installed Win XP service pack 2, and now I'm
having problems with my splash screen on startup, i.e. it

Edition), only "Microsoft Windows XP". Very baffled,
would be grateful for any help.

That is normal. SP2 has removed the distinction between versions of XP
to avoid having to maintain four different code modules just to display
