I installed SP2 and my computer would no longer boot. After the loading
screen the screen went blank and stayed that way for hours. I could not even
run in safe mode. I had to search the internet (on another computer) to find
out how to uninstall SP2. It took me over 5 hours to get my system back.
There is no reason in the world why I would ever want to do that again.
