Barbara,

Thank you for your time. It turns out that when I changed and
reset my display settings in Control Panel all was well.

The SP2 install must have confused something for my video card
and/or driver. Simply restarting did not fix it. I had to
physically change the setting and change it back. Must be kinda
like thunking the side of the TV as a kid.
