Access & WinXP SP2

[Rob007]

I have just installed Windows XP Service Pack 2 and a number of my access reports are extremely slow to load and work with (10 mins to open when they used to be nearly instant). Has anyone else experienced this or is it just a coincident and some other problem causing this?

Thanks,

Rob

Just got a message from my boss -- NOT to install Service Pack 2 to Windows XP on ANY of our pc's because there are many problems with it. Is it possible to uninstall it? Otherwise, I suggest you check on more details regarding Service Pack 2.

Good Luck!

Uninstalled XP

Thanks Mdemarte,

I have uninstalled SP2 - it has some great features but none of them are any good if you cant print! (even with the firewall turned off)

I heard a comment just yesterday about SP2 and Office 2003.
The suggestion was that you need to uninstall Office and reinstall after loading SP2.
I don’t have Office 2003 so I didn’t ask for specific reasons why.

Thanks Ray705,

I spent so long trying to get it to work that I have run out of patience with SP2, maybe in a couple of months I will have forgotten how annoyed I was and have another go. Appreciate the advice - although if I have to do that for all 10 of our computers I wont be real happy with Mr Gates.
