Beware of the Windows update on the Service Pack 1. First of all it started as a 9 minute download, which led to a 4 hour download, but that is not where the problem is.
After the install and reboot, XP loaded to the click on the user name page. When I clicked on the user the computer shuts down and reboots, including the scan disk and back to the user page, clicked on a user name and the same thing.
So, after 2 hours on the phone to MS, we finally fixed the problem. Apparently, some of the drivers that loaded with the Service Pack conflicted with something somewhere and would not allow normal operation.
After all of MS "quick" fix we tried my idea of a reboot at an earlier day and of course the Service Pack went away and all is well, with the exception of my hp printer driver that got messed up.
According to MS, the Service Pack has caused this problem ALOT!! Even the first lady that sends you to a tech new about this.
