Well, this all started last nite. Ever since I installed SP2, I've had problems searching with IE. I went to uninstall SP2 and came back 30 minutes later, and I think my PC had restarted, but everything was acting very weird.
After a few reboots this am, it's still messed up. SP2 is still listed in the Uninstall Programs sections, however, when trying to uninstall it, it just hangs. I also don't have any taskbar, START button anymore. IE will load, but alot of the bottons on webpages don't work. Some programs won't even load at all. It's pretty much hit and miss as to whether something works or not. Then, I found my way into Device Manager where there is a yellow exclamation next to my CPU. Could that be the cause of all this?
I initially thought it was weird timing that it would fail when I was messing with SP2. And I would think either the whole computer would not work with a bad CPU, but it seems to be able to do some things, so I'm a little stumped. Unfortunately, I don't have an extra P4 around to test with.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Aaron
