RE: SBS 2003 Updates and Problems

Hi Susan and Crina, thank you for replying to my questions.

I am not sure if it happened specifically after applying Win2K3 SP1 or SBS
SP1. I applied each of the service packs in the order specified on the
website without really checking for any problems.

I have not installed any new Video Drivers.

I have installed the ATI driver for my video card and nothing has changed.

Crina, you are correct in saying that I have no tabs on the display
properties window and only themes settings are shown.

You are also correct in saying the Companyweb website has not worked since
installing the updates.

I haven't uninstalled the service pack on this server yet, however removing
the service pack resolved a problem I was having on a different server. I am
not having the same issues on both servers. I cannot install the sharepoint
services on the other server as well.

There are no error messages display at any time on either machine.

It looks like a test of my DR procedures is in order.
