Just installed SP1 and I've got some SERIOUS problems.

First of all, when I have open windows, and click on the desktop icon on the tray at the bottom to return to the desktop, the system locks up. I have no idea why. I created a restore point before I installed it, and went back to it, then tried again, but it's still jacked up. So I KNOW I can restore to just right before the install, but that still doesn't give me service pack 1!!!!

I also got alot of errors in the event viewer. Here they are. Please read!!
