I should have added that I had an MSI 875P  NEO motherboard.

I saw another comment from Joe Lore that another MSI motherboard needed a
BIOS update in order to run SP2 properly.  I have not tried updating our
BIOS.  I still have not had any problems for a week, so I think I will just
leave well enough alone for now.

Perhaps if I had had the sense to describe my hardware system completely
(even though the submission went to PCSOFT), somebody might have recognized
a pattern.  Moral of the lesson: give a complete description of your system
when you ask for help on either PCBUILD or PCSOFT!!!  I am always yelling at
the monitor when I see other's posts, "WHAT IS YOUR SYSTEM??!!"  Then I
don't do it myself!!!!!!!  :) :) :) :)   We get too soon old and too late
smart!

Subject: [PCSOFT] SP2 problem loss of video


> Following Dean Kukral's suggestion I removed SP2 from my machine 2 days
ago, and have not had a loss of video event since.  Apparently this is an
SP2 upgrade problem.  I could not find any reference to it in the MS
knowledge base but maybe it will make it there as more experience with the
SP2 upgrade accumulates.  Someone suggested to me it might be an Norton
System Works + XP Pro (SP2) interaction, but I couldn't find any reference
to it on the Symantec site either.
