I can see my e-mail msgs. but when I click on it, I get a blank in the message box. I upgraded my system to SP2 and now my messages come up as an attachment. I have to click on the attachment to get the message. Also since the addition of SP2, I can't get into the control panel or My Computer, etc. Help!

sounds fishy, SP2 does nt do any of this, thats a security patch as far i know.

and about email, i guess u got virus, so uninstall ur SP2, and check if ur pc gets back to the old position, then check ur virus and ur so called sp2 :s

Turns out that I have limited hard drive space left so I could not run SP2 but when I got rid of it , I could no longer read my e-mails by clicking on the attachments. Now I am back to a blank box. Could excessive adware be causing this because I'm not currently running an adware program on my PC? Thanks.
