Interesting; obviously something in common here.
Likewise, no other SP2 snags (via MS disc) thankfully, despite some of the horror stories.
PS:...............
Having said all that, reading around on the subject this evening, there seems to be an arguement for disabling in \'Services\' anyway, as synchronization only takes place automatically every seven days. .....If you are not connected at that point (particularly on laptop) you will probably miss it, but in the meantime resources (albeit presumably limited) are being used running it.
Further - on a

spookier note - I see there are people on the Web paranoid about having their clock linked to a Microsoft server (
time.windows.com) by default (!) .....I think I\'ll leave it there.....
