SP2 broke Office 2003 - Outlook & Word

[Oleh]

This is my 2nd post. Word was the Outlook 2003 editor
before SP2 but now when I start a new email an error pops
up saying to the effect "Word is your editor but can't
use it...reverting to mail editor" and when I start a new
document in Word "This document cannot be
registered...cannot link to it" AND SP2 broke Windows
Installer...I had to d/l the registry fix from Kelly's
which worked just fine!

I already tried all the suggestions the error popup
suggested but to no avail; detect & repair, repair from
Add & Remove, reinstall Office 2003. Office 2003 is
totally up to date...no updates available.

Are there any fixes to SP2 planned? Thanks.

Well, since there doesn't seem to be any help on this AND on the other
things that broke with SP2 including Outlook 2003 (and Word 2003)
which WERE:

Windows Installer - broken
System Information - broken due to WMI, which was broken
Services editing - broken ability to stop, disable some services
Services Dependancies availability - broken
WMI - broken
RPC - altered & broken
DEC - totally fuzzy what this is, so assumed broken since too many
..exe's didn't work properly w/ or w/out it
Desktop Icon graphics - broken
Speed for anything (applications, windows, browser, surfing etc) -
lost 20%

Soooooooooo I did a CD repair and this happened:

All of the above - FIXED!
Word 2003 - no error msgs
Word 2003 Office Assistant - restored even though the little fool is
annoying!
Outlook 2003 - able to find Word 2003 as the editor
Speed for everything - gained 20%

All back to usual. Sorry MS but SP2 didn't work for me. I didn't
trust the Rollback either since I've seen issues with that posted.
