enuffsaid Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Ardi,I'm experiencing the same problem with a laptop I've upgraded to SP2 final build. The BETA SP2 which was installed before the final did NOT have this problem.So instead of shutting it down, I used "Standby". The problem "went away" after 1 day.

ardi Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 RESOLUTION!It's been a month, but finally the culprit was brought to justice. The C drive was occassionally tossing out bad data and the original symptom had nothing to do with the software, registry settings or anything else. The timing with the release of sp2 was just a coincidence and led me down many bad trails.New little problems started cropping up which gave me a hint. Oh yeah, natch the warranty had expired on the Quantum drive in February.Thanks to everyone who responded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
