I have uninstalled the SP2 since turning off the firewall I was "gifted" by
Microsoft didn't not help.

Walla!  Zone Alarm works again!!

The only bug left is a message that says I have hardware to install that my
computer has detected.

"Intel(r) AIM external flat panel driver 5"

When I cancel that it goes to panel 6, then 7.  It is irritating, but stops
after 6 requests to install new hardware.  I did play along once and allow
it to try , but when it could not find the disc, it went on to panel 6 and
so forth.

Thanks so much Microsoft.

Anyway to FULLY uninstall SP2?  That Windows Messenger icon still sits in my
tray and it keeps trying to load it.
