May help with XP SP2 Problem

With ref to SP2.
I also left pc on over night and came down to pc trying to reboot, the only way I could stop this was cutting the power. I thought it was something I done, I called Microsoft on 08450902025 and told them of the problem.
They will talk you thought what to do, it is a problem with SP2 not being compatible with other software, one of them being Norton virus scan.
The way they told me to do it was by going into BIOS and changing your boot up to your cd rom, then put in your xp disc and when it boots up from that, then go to recovery, but this dint work for me, the way I done it was set up windows xp again, I didn’t lose anything but it does take longer now to start up.
I do not know if it true but I have heard that the prob with xp sp2 has affected over 1-mil computers.
The above has worked for me but call 08450902025 to find out first.
Hope this helps,
Mark
