    Not I. I've been running SP1 for a while and haven't noticed any performance drop. Maybe it changed one of your settings or something???

    Everything works fine here. Perhaps just format and try it from a clean install?

    I got this on a recient e-mail newsletter from computer world....
    Latest Windows XP Patch Can Slow Down PCs

    Users say that Windows XP can take up to 10 seconds to start an
    application after a patch Microsoft released last week is installed.

    Hmm...

    I have just SP'd two systems.

    System one:
    AMD 800Mhz T-Bird
    196Mb SDR
    20Gb 5400

    That now takes an age to boot... even with /noguiboot enabled. When it's finished booting, it's fab.

    System two:
    AMD XP 2100+
    1024Mb DDRII
    400Gb 7200 (2x200) in RAID 1

    This system was SP'd from clean install, and boots in around 15-20 seconds. When it's finished booting, it runs perfectly. I run my primary OS in a VM anyway, so re-installing now is no problem!

    Regards,

    Paul.

    My teachers always told me: "Never touch a running system!"

    But who defines running?!?

    Reg reader Granville Gough writes: "If you are running WinXP and install this fix, your machine will be compromised. It will slow to a crawl, taking up to 30 seconds to open a spreadsheet, Word doc, run Meidaplayer and more."

    "The problem goes away if the fix is removed," he adds.
