Flash and shockwave kept crashing for a while after the upgrade, but it stopped. Otherwise I never had any problems.

Have not had one single issue with using it after two weeks of use.

I was just told by my ISO that SP2 Network version had almost no issues, and that I should consider using that version update, even though I'm not on a network.

A full reboot huh. That must have been alot of work pushing that button once.

I installed SP2 and it looks like all systems go for the time being.
Hope it stays that way...

Installed the first day it was released via automatic updates (been a few weeks now) and haven't had any issues. No problems with programs, no issues at all.

I am informing all my customers that installing sp2 can make their system unstable and I am not recommending it at this time. I see a common demoninator being some spyware on the box that causes it to not boot afterwards or bluescreen on bootup. I usually do an sp2 uninstall from a cmd prompt and all is well. upon removing the spyware, sp2 installs with no problem.
I myself have not seen any issues with sp2

I just bit the bullet and installed SP2. Seemed to have survived it - though early days - well hours
.
Took the approach of unloading all graphic add-ons, WB, cursor XP, Icon packages etc before installing, together with replacing default bootscreen and logon.
Then on completion, just for neatness once I was satisfied all was up and running I cleared my prefetch files.
My system is a basic utility system with onboard graphics - but after this has settled in for a day or 2 I'll hit my Toshiba laptop with it as well.

How does one clear the prefetch?

How does one clear the prefetch?
Window\Prefetch directory, and erase the files.

Just updated Toshiba satellite laptop to SP2- same process and everything fine except m$ bootscreen flashing up before my own choice shows. Seem to remember there was a fix for this posted elsewhere on board.
If anyone cares to repost this gem of knowledge here it will be much appreciated.
