Do you mean "slipstream"?
Try it without SP2.

well I tried to install windows again, but it wont let me. It tells me to re-start the pc and reboot from the cd.
I tried that but nothing happens. Is there a way that I can erase windows+SP2 so that I can re-install windows from the cd got from the store an get rid of SP2 all together? I wish I didnt Install SP2. |

Is your BIOS set to boot from the CD drive before the hard drive? If so, it should jump right into the windows installation. I'm not entirely sure what effect SP2 would have, but it definetly should boot from the CD.
When I installed sp2, I didn't notice any real changes in peformance.. for better or for worse. Did you maybe install something else around the same time as sp2? Dave

Can you get into Safe Mode? If so, select a Restore Point to return to that is before the SP2 installation.

It was the BIOS set up. Fixed it over the weekend runs like a charm. But NO more SP2! What I did was, to order the cd directrly from MS. Hopefully that would work!!!

Don't know if it helps, but here's a suggestion for ya. I have the SP2 cd and whenever I install it I first shut down all running programs, especially the antivirus. Then don't do anything else until it's completely rebooted. Also, visit Windows Update after installing SP2 as there have been some critical updates since it came out.
