Anyone experiencing slower than normal video performance after installing XP SP1? When I go to access the video properties from the control panel, everything gets real slow and jerky until I close out of properties. It didn't do that before SP1!

I have heard that you should not install Service Pack 1. It slows down your comp. I also have heard that more people have had probs. with Service Pack 1 then what they did before they installed it. I suggest that you reinstall Windows or if their is a way to uninstall SP1 do that.

I just knew SP1 was bad news. I haven't installed it on any of my comps. 8)

Where did you hear that? All I've heard about SP1 (keep in mind that I am running 2k, sp3) is that the majority of the annoyance bugs were fixed.

*More rumors*

It is said that WinXP SP1 also update drivers without asking. Some seem to have solved it by reinstalling chipset Drivers (Ex. VIA 4in1) again along with Display Adapter Drivers (Ex. Nvidia).
