Got a new computer with XP Pro already installed. So I thought the first
thing is to install Srv Pk II before doing anything.

After installation, upon reboot, the startup screen freezes.

(I am soooo fed up with Microsoft.....)

Thanks in advance..

Did you turn off (disable) any anti virus software that may have been loaded?
When I installed this Service Pack, I turned my display settings to default
levels, and disabled my sound card from the device manager. Then I installed
the Service Pack 2, and have no issues. Once completed I upgraded my ATI
driver to the Catalyst 4.8 ( current driver), and My creative sound blaster
audigy drivers to current versions. By placing the video settings at
defaults, I do not have corrupted video skipping or slow motion type graphics
( which may occur in gaming applications), and all works perfectly, and I
turned my graphic acceleration after installing the seervice pack.
