After installing SP2 nothing worked. I could not load
any programs from the Start Menu. I finally shutdown the
laptop (Dell Inspiron 8500 512MB RAM) and it stuck
on "Saving Configuration Changes" for nearly 20 minutes.
I ended up losing patience and cold booting it. Once the
laptop came back online programs worked but with IE in
particular I can't even type in the URL space, it only
recognizes maybe every third key I hit...incredible
functional especially when trying to type a password.
Any advice?
Thank you.
