I normally don't use system restore for most installs but knew that this was too big not too. After waiting out the installation and then dealing with all the default settings imposed by the new system and security center, I quickly found a piece of software that broke. Surprise of all surprises (not!), it was their own software - Works, the word processor. That is my office suite on this machine. When I tried opening an existing or a new document, it complained about a file being either missing or moved (of course, it didn't bother telling me which files were missing). I checked the directories I could think of and found all the same files (compared to one of several backups). I searched the internet and found no solution. I didn't bother to look for other broken software, I just went to the restore point. After waiting through the restore (which left a bunch of files/dirs to be cleaned out later), the same files opened without question. Oh well, no SP2 on this machine, at least in the near future.
