Slipstream question

[AnnAnne]

My xp SP2 has been presenting "explorer.exe generated errors...." page,
together with a malfunctioning Dr Watson, since I removed the
netscape/wildtangent component from firefox.

I'd like to make a slipstream copy before reinstalling windows because there
is no choice to repair.

Is it alright to make slipstream copy while system has errors running?

I wouldn't recommend it. Too risky of making a faulty copy but if you really
want to then go ahead. However, if you'd like you can get SP2 from Microsoft
on CD:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx

(It's free though there may be a shipping charge in some parts of the
world.)

There you will find a bunch of information including slipstreaming links on
how to do it.

forget exactly where I found this, but I made a shortcut...
"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" /rereg
Because there is no IE uninstall in add/remove with the option to repair IE
which is occasionally needed.
