I just finally took the sp2 for windows xp But every time I re-boot my machine, within 5 mins. my screen turns to green & white stripes i can't do anything until I re-boot again. Can someone please lend me a hand here. I don't know much about this service pk2, So any help will be appreciated. Thanks kindly, Maxx

I should have been more specific.Find the video card driver for your video card at manufaturers site and download and install latest drivers.
