Everything worked before installing SP2, now IE starts and shuts down before
you can do anything and Outlook opens, stalls for like 3-5 mins "Not
Responding" and then when you try and open an email it all shuts down. Also
AOL wont even allow you to sign on, it closes before you can try.
What happened and how can I fix this? When I ran Norton, no viruses showed
up. What now?
 
Assuming that SP2 means you just installed Service Pack 2 for Windows XP,
then two thoughts...

1) Wrong group to ask questions about Windows XP. Go down the hall to
microsoft.public.windowsxp.*

2) If you had any traces of Adware/Spyware on the machine before installing
Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, then you will have all kinds of weird issues.
Might try running Adware or Spybot to see if the machine checks out to be
fairly clean. (Note: This isn't the only reason for a lousy running Windows
XP (SP2) box, but tends to be the most common.)
