Sorry - it was me not being clear - I meant what problems did you have with sp2? I'm curious as the more problems people report I look for them on my test installation.

I got an error on startup. Can't remember what it was and i haven't got a screenshot. So what ill do is do a restore in Safe mode and do a reinstall of SP2 tonight.

Well after many attepts I still cant stop the "critical stop" sound on start up. Must be a driver or service not starting up but I cant see which one. Ive had driver problems in the past that have nearly trashed my system so i didnt want to take any risks.

Uninstalled SP2 from Add/Remove programs, then for good measure done a system restore to a point just before I installed SP2.

All is working perfectly as before. I think I will wait for the final release before I try again.

I think I'll wait for the final release, as it seems it's okay for some and not for others.
