Your post subject is confusing.
1. Uninstall SP2 via Add/Remove Programs and reboot.
2. Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your HijackThis log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis (http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use. It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.
**Post your HijackThis log to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/, http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30 or other appropriate forum for expert analysis, not here.**
3. Do not install SP2 until an expert gives your HijackThis log a clean bill of health.

I have a computer that has XP Home with SP1. It runs software that is part
of a Frame Specifications measurement system in an autobody repair
facility. I have applied SP2. After applying SP2 the computer obviously has
to be restarted and when it does, it gets to the point where "Windows XP'
displays with the strobing green bar. At that point, it reboots and goes to
the safe mode choices screen. It will go into safe mode (where I did a
system restore to get the machine functioning again) but repeats the cycle
if "Normal Mode" is selected. I found several posts that refer to DVD
writers with old firmware causing the issue (disconnected and got same
results) as well as a thread describing the use of MPSReports to identify
troublesome "filters"? I have ensured it is not some form of software by
installing a new hard drive and installing OS from scratch. The same
results happen the moment SP2 is applied. Convinced it is a hardware
issue...does anyone have any suggestions or experiece with identifying the
offending component?
