About a week ago I uninstalled windows xp service pack 2 from my computer and
for some reason when it unistalled it, the computer didnt remove all of it or
removed something very important. Now when i try and start up windows i have
no task bar and some programs will not load up. I also do not have internet
for some reason. Is there anyway to download service pack 2 onto a disk and
install it from there? thanks in advance for your help.

You can download SP2 and burn it to a disk.
Download full SP2 - http://tinyurl.com/5bobl

However, your system is now in an unknown state. You probably would be
better off either doing a clean install or taking the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigStoreUSA). If you do this yourself, do not connect to the Internet
until you have installed SP2 and an antivirus on the clean machine.

Since I don't know anything about your computer or why you uninstalled
SP2 to start with, I can't be more specific. Most problems with
installing SP2 are caused by not properly preparing the computer by
making sure it is completely virus/malware-free and applying any
necessary patches from the OEM prior to the SP2 upgrade.

The reason i uninstalled service pack 2 to begin with was because less than
10min after i installed it, it screwed my computer all to heck. It wouldnt
connect to the internet, it took atleast 15min for it to load up after being
shut down. So apparantly SP2 didnt react to well with the hardware on my
computer. Since that was the last thing installed on it before it screwed up,
i unistalled it. but apparantly not everything was unistalled and that is why
i am at this point rite now.

Without looking at your computer, I can't guess why you had problems and
what state your computer is in now. So I don't have anything to add to
what I said in my last post. Basically, have a pro look at it or do a
clean install and start over. Figure out why you had trouble installing
SP2.

Good luck,
