Vista SP2 slows computer

I have FRISR-Rescue so I'm typing this in my backup image and it has SP1 in it. I installed SP2 to my original and it has slowed my page loading to a crawl, especially Google. The image I'm in is working OK. After install I defraged the drive but didn't seem to help much. It just takes forever to load a page.

As a diagnostic disable your firewall, see if speed improves.

I was going to post this same exact topic. I am having the same issue. SP2 slows my laptop. How can I go back to SP1 without system restore?

I think everybody who have x64 system have also this issue :sleepy: after installing SP2.Try my method from my previous post -maybe help.If you really desperate to unistall Sp2 (although I don't recommend it) navigate to Programs & Features>>Installed Updates - choose SP2>>uninstall

I just installed SP2 yesterday as a 5 pack standalone. No problems and this was after a fresh install of SP1. Took around 40min and if anything Vista is a bit faster.
