The installation appeared to proceed smoothly, but upon reboot, problems soon emerged:
(1) Very, very sluggish
(2) Some hardware ("unknown devices") could not find drivers
(3) Finale opened slowly, but playback quality was appalling - audio device properties not showing up correctly in Control Panel
(4) Windows Task bar virtually inoperative - START button does not respond for minutes
(5) Strange dialogue windows appear with notices re various Services being 'denied' and having reluctantly to be 'closed'.
(6) After a number of reboots, system virtually comes to a halt and dialogues come up saying system has to closed down to non-specific error.
My 14yr old son takes me for long walk to calm me down - "It's only a stupid computer Dad!".
Later, calmer, I roll back SP2 to SP1, but even MORE dysfunctional after that.
Booted in SAFE MODE and used SYTEM RESTORE to restore to a previous point, and now all works well.
What a waste of my time and sanity.
