Latest Windows XP Service Pack 2 release candidate does not cooperate well with Windows service

I installed the latest Windows XP Service Pack 2 release candidate which is now available to the general public. After rebooting, the Slim service pegged the CPU at 99% consistently and it had trouble communicating with the Squeezebox. I stopped the service, restarted it. Same thing. Rebooted. Same thing. Since I use the Squeezebox so often and can't be without it, I uninstalled service pack 2 and and the Slim service behaved normally again. I realize SP2 isn't in final form yet but it's due for release in the second quarter. Maybe the issue will go away in its final form?
Hi Matt... I installed the SP2 candidate and haven't seen these problems. I did enable the new firewall and then open it up for slimserver, but the CPU usage is still quite low. Can you tell me more about the system? Also, are you using the latest 5.1.1 release?
