Weird Problem with SP2

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

hi all,
i have Windows XP home. the automatic update thing downloaded SP2 for me. i installed it, took a gud 2hours to install but then after wards, my PC lost its speed. i was sitting there for about a minute before My Computer opened up. also, after installing, the startup screen changed from being Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP.

should i try again?
help appreciated

Kick SP2 off and don't bother about those kinds of problems again.  ;)

 Seems like a lot of people have problems when they try to upgrade to SP2, my computer came with it already in place and I haven't had any problems at all.
 I did try to upgrade another PC to SP2 and ended up restoring back to before the download. Weird!

yep, best way to install the service pack is to do a full format, then let windows update install their updates in the specified order....

Either that or order sp2 on cd.. :-)

BTW, it should change from windows XP: (Your edition name) to siomply Windows XP at startup. Thats by design.

My machine has had SP2 from the CD, with XP Pro - flawless!!  ;D Fast too!

Yes the_autopilot, It did change from Windows XP Home Edition to Windows XP. Should I try again or get another PC? Or is it virtually worthless because I have heard about some "flaws" in it.

Thanks for the help.

No No No. The fact thats its missing the edition title is on purpose. Microsoft purposely removed it.
