XP Pro - SP2 - Loading Problem

[Guest]

I have windows XP Pro. After updating the Win XP SP2 my computer takes lot
of time to boot the system. This was not the case before SP2 installation.
Also, my computer now shows "Windows XP" screen instead of "Windows XP
Professional" screen when booting as well as shutting down the system.

It would be of great relief if some real gurus in XP SP2 help me in finding
the solutions for the above problems.
