Hi,
Are you running other programs that might be causing this? Anything like
Internet Security, ad-blockers, Proxomitron, AdSubtract, etc? Are you using
the XP firewall or another? Many programs need an update to work properly
with XP SP2. You might try disabling anything that *might* be causing this
from MSCONFIG> Startup. Process of elimination should point to the guilty
party.

Hope this helps,
Don
