No good reason for still being on SP1, other than initial concern about SP2 effects and then procrastination followed. This problem will be the obvious push to get me to update to SP3. I’ve been thinking about a reinstall just to clear out clutter and possibly improve speed, but have a little anxiety about that.

Will try the Last Known Good Configuration to see if that gets the machine running in regular mode. I hope that doesn’t mean losing some more recent data/files. I’ll check back then. Should I rerun and post DDS and GMER reports if successful?
