NOTES:
(1) Suspend to RAM works only with BIOS version 1.10. Later versions have something wrong and this feature will not work properly. You can downgrade to v1.10 if your laptop does NOT mount an Intel Core Duo (Yonah) D0 stepping processor (which basically means those CPUs coded T2x00). Check here for more detailed information.
(2) Sort of. I can still see the cursor moving when I type, sometimes. But it's usable. And since xorg.conf is no longer used, it's a tough task to use this trick, unless you want to make a new (optional) xorg.conf, which can be a headache.

How to Fix Windows 7 Error “audio service is not running”
Recently when I rebooted my computer, the audio stopped running. Usually, troubleshooter will automatically fix the problem, but surprisingly in this occasion, even the troubleshooter failed to start. The speaker icon in the notification area had a red cross over it.
Here’s a work around:
1. Click on start,run, and type Services.msc in the search bar.
2. Scroll [...]

How to create a slipstream CD
A slipstream CD means a Windows XP installation CD with Service Pack 2 already integrated.
For this you need the full (Network) Service Pack 2 file (266 MB), which can be downloaded from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A
These articles describe the procedure:
- http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20040908/index.html
- http://www.neowin.net/forum/?showtopic=188337 (uses helper program AutoStreamer, one of the best ways to do the slipstreaming, available fromwww.autopatcher.com)
- http://www.msfn.org/articles.php?action=show&showarticle=49 (uses helper program nLite)
For more descriptions, try:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Windows+XP%22+%22Service+Pack+2%22+slipstream
Note: You cannot use the /integrate switch to slipstream Windows XP SP2 into a folder with Windows XP on a Windows 2000 computer. Use a Windows XP computer to do the slipstreaming or locate a workaround.
If all else fails
If this entire document doesn't solve your problem, your only remaining choice is to uninstall Service Pack 2 again. At least you gain some peace and more time to look for a better solution.
Click on Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Software, and make sure that you have Show Updates selected at the top, if you have that choice at all. Then try to remove Service Pack 2 from there.
If that fails, roll back the computer, using System Restore.
If the computer cannot boot, try Safe Mode. To get into Safe mode, tap the [F8] key repeatedly or hold it down while the computer is booting. Then select Safe Mode from the boot menu. In Safe Mode uninstall the Service Pack.
If that also fails or if you want to know more details, check the next subchapters below for detailed information on how to uninstall the service pack.
If you cannot or don't want to uninstall Service Pack 2, you can perform a repair installation of Windows XP. Remnants of Service Pack 2 may still cause some problems, warning and error messages in the system event log, but these should go away once you have successfully reinstalled Service Pack 2.
If your computer then works as it did before, you have again gained some time. If it doesn't, or even if it does, but you cannot find any other possible cause, do arepair installation.
The repair installation overwrites Service Pack 2 files and may leave your computer with some functions not working and a few error messages repeatedly being logged, so you should then reinstall Service Pack 2.
