Well, I am sure there are others that experience problems with SP2. I agree
with others that Steve came down from the hill a little strong on the other
hand I did experience a weird problem in IE after installing SP2m not on all
machines but still.

Even if popup blocker is turned off, IE still seems to put its digital
fingers on it but allowing the new window to open but then the pages seems to
hang. When I press the stop button followed by the Go button the requested
page comes up just fine.

I haven't had a chance to research it further but if there are others that
know of this problem and have a solution, please let me know.

Thanks,

Wayne,

If you have a software problem, take a deep breath, a warm shower, a nice
cup-a-coffee then just solve it!
