WindowS XP SP1 issue

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?Victor_Acu=F1a?=]

Folks:

I made this test many times and I am sure that the problem is with the SP1 upgrade:
I have a machine with Celeron 1800, MainBoard Shuttle w/Intel 845 chipset, 128 MB, 20 GB, Video and audio on board.

When I install windows XP, it works perfect, but when I install the SP1 upgrade, the start sequence loses about 10 minutes in the "black with a bottom white scan bar" screen ( a very looww sweeping, indeed), then continue to welcome screen and finally start windows as usual.
I reinstalled (over the existent windows XP), from the CD (loosing the SP1 upgrade) and then it start perfect.
When I upgrade again with SP1, the problem returned again. (!?!)

OH MY GOD, I HAVE A "NO LiKE SP1" MACHINE !!! (Why me?)

To test my Win XP CD and my SP1 downloaded software, I reinstalled they on other machine an they worked OK.

Please can anybody tell me what it is happening? What thing may be the problem? and How I can fix this?

Or, I will use my Window, but to throw the machine across it.

Thanks,
Victor

One assumes you've attempted to install WinXP-SP1, not IE6-SP1. You want
the former.

1. Disable your anti-virus application and close all running processes.

2. Uninstall SP1 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.

3. Again, disable your anti-virus application and close all running
processes, then...

4. Revisit Windows Update to install SP1 in this "clean" environment.
Reboot.

5. Again, disable your anti-virus application and close all running
processes, then...

6. Revisit Windows Update to install other needed updates.
