Did you install the SP2 over an existing XP installation? Is this happening just since you installed the SP2?
RE: help nothings working by NiteMare on 03-18-2005 at 07:42 AM
yes, i have had XP since just after christmas and its worked fine, but i couldn't download the SP2, so i ordered the CD, it got here today, and i just installed it like 20 mintues ago, and when i restarted, it said repairing MSN 7, i let it do that, and nether MSN or internet explorer works

You can remove SP2 by going to Add/Remove Software, but are you sure you don't have a virus or something?

Things like that are not tolerated here.
Run your anti-virus software. If you have software that can run on bootup - use that.

Yeah, you should format and make a clean install of Windows. Do you have the Windows CD? You can boot from the CD, format and install. If you don't have the key, contact the store from where you bought your PC.

run your pc in safe mode and then do a virus scan

It mabye you are the casualty that everyone talks about some people do complain of problems with XP Sp2. Just uninstall it and see if you can install the individual updates.
