779968 2009-06-06 01:19:00 I installed sp2 for vista through the updates and my computer slowed to a crawl the search function in all windows "failed to initialize" I used system restore to remove it again and then defraged both the reg and disc. sweet again I have tried to install it twice but will now wait a month or so.

779969 2009-06-06 01:30:00 Eh?

Did you disable all AVs during installation?

Weird. Haven't heard any problems with Sp2 so far

Sounds like something is conflicting or there was something wrong with your windows to begin with.

Not sure what you can try but "sfc /scannow" might help (does this still work in Vista?)
