I just found out this new update is causing alot of problems on computers
that never had problems until this update was installed. I started haveing
problems with my cdrw/dvdrw drive right after installing SP2. On checking my
computer device manager showed everything was fine, but wouldn't recognize
some installation cd's or autorun..nothing worked to install this
software...until I uninstalled SP2 from my computer..now everything works
fine like it did before SP2 was installed...Hope this helps all of you
wondering what went wrong with my computer!!!
