problem appeared after sp2 laptop

[Guest]

I have a problem after I upgraded to sp2. I can run IE but other programs
flat out will not run. The icon changes like it wants to start but then it
goes back to normal idle state. The odd bit is I can open previously made
files like .doc to open word but I can't directly open it. Any ideas would be
much apprectiated. Oh problem exists in safe mode and can't run add remove in
control panel or anything in control panel or even calc in run dialog box.

Hi,

I'm getting the same type of issues. I tried to open the system restore,
but nothing happens or a blank system restore screen opens up. I have scanned
for virus, but found nothing. IE opens up for me, but not everything works
within IE. I hope someone can help us out.

Alrighty, finally got to uninstall through microsofts help and a run command
they had me use so I'll try updating and all that stuff and whatever they
suggest also. Thanks for the input
