Hi, I am hoping someone can help. I upgraded to SP2 ysterday and ever since
my PC has been running very slow. Several minutes longer at startup - and
long pauses at various times .
I have run ad-aware, spybot, and 2 anti0virus programs and could not find
any issues (that I hadn't previously resolved). Also I scaled back the
number of programs that load at startuop and still problems.
Looking under properties - I see:
"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration
information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)
Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
but clicking on troubleshoot has been useless.
Can anyone suggest the best way to remedy this problem. I am hoping it is
related to my PC slowness issue after SP2 since I saw several other folks
mention issues with Plug and Play after SP2.
Thanks
John
Doing some research - based on some other posts here - I went into my Device
Manager and saw that I do have an error with "PLUG AND PLAY BIOS EXTENSION"
under system devices
