I installed SP4 on W2K. When I run my client application that use TCP/IP to connect to a Interbase server, it can log on successfully, but after I choose one of the menu, my apps hang. Any ideas ?

SP4 gave me a big headache and forced me to rollback (thank god I archived the files!). With SP4, all net accesses slowed down to a crawl with some sites absolutely NEVER coming up (like news.yahoo.com)! I tried to do another set of newer "Windows fix" updates and the system simply choked. I checked the CPU performance and sure enough it was stuck at 100%. This was repeatable after every subsequent reboot. If this is MS's way of causing me to upgrade to XP they almost convinced me till I rolled back!
