For years, my W2K with SP4 ran okay. Last week, following a virus
attack, I reformatted c: and reinstalled W2K. To make a very long story
short, without SP4, webpages open fast. With SP4, they are virtually
impossible to open, with either of my browsers, Sea Monkey and IE.
I got the SP4 update right from microsoft. File name is
SP4express_EN.exe, size 589K, version 1.16.120.0, June 20, 2003.
Odd thing: before all my problems started, I distinctly remember that if
I went to Control Panel/Add Remove Programs, there were multiple entries
related to SP4 maybe they were later patches to SP4. When I reinstall
SP4 today, and then go to remove it, there is just a single entry.
Am I missing some patches or other SP4 updates that could be causing my
problem?
From googling the problem, I notice that other have had this problem
with SP4 when they returned to SP3, the problem disappeared. The odd
thing is SP4 worked okay in my system until the virus problem.
Thanks,
Ray
