And is this a legal Windows install from a bright, shiny disk that says Microsoft all over it? That is without a doubt the number one reason people have problems with SP2.

Yea the little shiny stuff that hypnotizes people into buyin it...Anyway I figured it out I had to reconfigure the network settings... I dont know why they were completly changed by adding sp2 but its stressfull when you got 5 mins left to finish what your doing and then find out its all messed up...

There are plenty of alternatives to running a Windows machine...but to run a healthy Windows machine one needs the shiny MS CD.

Not sure what point you're trying to make there.  Can you elaborate?

Hmmm, 80% for a process, yet the bottom of your System Internals panel shows 10.7%.  Seems contradictory.  How do you reconcile the two?

Anyway, I believe update.exe does not have to be running.  It' not in my system:

Did the installation of SP@ complete itself ? ?

Have you grabbed all the other updates i mentioned ? ?

If not this machine is going to keep trying...

    What exactly do you mean by slow? Unresponsive? Sluggish when moving windows? Slow to load files? There are lots of reasons a computer could be slow, and a lot of ways in which it can be slow.

      Awww, don't be like that, what's the problem, I'm not going to read 50+ posts to find out. ;)
      Download, install & update AVG & Spybot, set Spybot to advanced mode, activate Spybot Resident Protection & lock your HOSTS file.
      Turn off Windows Automatic Updates.
      Be happy. :)

      If none of the above makes sense then tell me, I may have to read this thread.
