Question

I know working for an ISP, it seems to have created many problems for the every day retards - usually the pop-up blocker blocking the window they're looking for. But as well doing some other strange stuff.

Finally i thought well hell lets download it see what it's all about - it did some strange **** that slowed my whole computer down a lot. Lotta time when loading various vids in wmp or the other program i use they'd lock up or whatever. Finally i uninstalled it and it's like a dream now - how quickly everything runs.

Am i just lucky enough to have something conflicting with it? or were any of you lucky too?

No issues here, however I use Netscape cause I can't stand that stupid pop blocker for Internet Explorer...Pc runs fine part I found odd is before I put it on my monitor wouldn't show mute/ volume then soon as I did put on Sp2 it came back.. where before it would just randomly show up when I went to reinstall... Bootup times is about the same takes about 25 seconds...

My Internet seems to have slowed down too.. I wonder if it's SP2 or my provider. I just did a fresh install on my new computer, dloaded SP2 right away and it seemed to integrate fine. Gotta get my speeds up though.. webpages take forever or timeout.

No Issues so far...

Works fine for me and I'm using the firewall ...

Haven't noticed any decrease in performance ...
