In some mail from xtrecate, sie said:
I made the mistake of installing SP2 last night, and I'm having some serious issues. Nearly every dialog box shows up blank, I am unable to set options and/or access program functionality in practically every application on this machine.
Windows XP SP2 has got to be up there with Windows NT 4.0 service pack 2 in terms of crap updates, possibly even worse. Maybe M$ are trying to push everyone away from Windows ? If I recall correctly, NT4sp3 was not long after NT4sp2. I wonder if we can expect an XPsp3 "soon" that deals with all the crap that XPsp2 brings upon us.
Apparently it saved everything I need for a rollback, so I'm really looking forward to doing that. The catch: The 'Add or Remove Programs' feature no longer works. The window appears, but is blank. Does anyone know of an alternate way to initiate a sp2 rollback?
