After deferring installation of XP SP2 for as long as possible, I finally had to do it a couple of weeks ago. My antivirus SW needed SP2 for its own update to function. Bummer. So I did the SP2 dance and now my system is partly hosed. Can't open control panel (hangs system), can't drag and drop or rename files in windows exploder, can't run WinRAR, etc.
Of the crashes I can see, all are related to shlwapi.dll 6.0.2900.2753 which was part of the SP2 "update." I've searched MS' useless "support" site, have been googling around and trying various things for days and nothing is fixing it.
I HATE MICROSOFT! I have wasted hours of my life for something I paid $$ for and it still doesn't work right. Bastards!
