Which service? Please post back with a better description of your
problem. I've installed Service Pack 2 on approximately 200 boxen, all
varying brands and model, laptops and desktops, and haven't had any
problems. Give us a better idea of the issues you are experiencing so
we can help you.

The main service is:

"Computer Browser"

I will need to check on the others.

No, I haven't seen any problems; however, since we don't know anything
about your computers or the state they were in before you installed
SP2, it's impossible to give you specific advice. Most people have
problems with SP2 because they installed it on computers that were not
100% spyware and virus-free; and/or they have OEM machines that needed
specific patches before installing SP2; and/or they have incompatible
software installed such as a virtual drive program like Alcohol.
