Reinstall components XP Pro

I goofed plain and simple.

I uninstalled several components, all the games and other items while trying
to find out why IE 7b2 wasn't installing.

Now it's asking for SP2 CD which I don't have and I can not find the
requisite files on my hard drive.

So, I go to the XP site and click on Download SP2. It doens't. Do I need to
order the CD or is there another way to get SP2?

Thanks,

Thanks, I've d/l the file. I'll hope that the package isn't just for network
installations as the title says.
 
It's not, it is for single PCs too.

OK, so I installed the Sp2 file, I didn't wait for the CD.

Windows still asks for the i386 folder for the exe files for the games and
other items that I uninstalled, pointing at my Docs and Setting folder where
it does not exist.

Nor does it exist anywhere else on my drives.

Now what?

Thanks for you assistance.

Did you slipstream your WinXP CD with the SP2 patch?
