OT: SP2 and AMD don't mix..

[David E. Gervais]

This info found on a technology report site..

"Regarding Boot errors.. Microsoft advises AMD Users to remove SP2 altogether. AMD also recommends that people affected by the problem do so."

This regarding a "freeze on bootup" error that apears to be linked to something called a DEP handler that is used by AMD processors.

Since installing SP2 my computer has been 'freezing' on bootup and I had to boot in safe mode then reboot in order to get my computer up and running.

I just thought I'd share this info with you good people. In case you find yourself with similar problems.

Cheers!

... David takes a deep breath and dives into the world of reformating and reinstalling winXP.. He'll be back, count on it.
