272325 2004-09-14 14:19:00 After I installed SP2 I have found that just about every time I turn off or restart Windows XP Pro, that Explorer.exe hangs with the message Explorer.exe is not responding with the only option to click on the end button to kill it. I have now uninstalled SP2 and my computer now restarts or turns off normally. procosm (6108)
272326 2004-09-14 14:38:00 Get rid of all spyware, see FAQ's for instructions

Or back up all important data, then reformat and install on a clean install.

272327 2004-09-14 19:57:00 I disagree re: format
A good place to start would be Microsoft's knowledge base or google
Look for similar problems.
I do agree with Rob on the spyware matter.
If you are happy not having SP2 installed and keep your Antivirus up to date,
and have a firewall (other than the standard xp one) maybe the best policy here is "if isn't broke don't fix it" But when it really comes down to its your pc therefore your choice
