I was linked to the following article via ArsTechnica.com’s Open Forum: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/windows/0,39020396,39165428,00.htm. I was wondering if anyone else was having problems with SP2.
My mother-in-law’s Dell Inspiron 1150 laptop seemed to take the update to SP2 fine. However, when the CPU driver was updated, the laptop slowed down to ~300 MHz, instead of the 2.4 GHz it was rated at.
The article above and the linked thread in it helped me resolve this issue. However, I wasn’t sure how widespread this is. Granted, the Inspiron 1150 probably is not deployed in many companies and agencies, but for home, student and teacher usage, this could impact quite a few people.
Anyone else experiencing SP2-woes? Were fixes available? If so, care to share?
