I recently re-installed my OS, Windows XP SP1, downloaded and installed
updates (for SP1). Then I downloaded SP2--(Microsoft) Windows Update tells
me so. But when Windows Update tries to install SP2, my computer freezes
halfway through, and I have to shut down my computer. Re-booting shows me a
message that my OS is in an unstable configuration. Add and Remove Programs
tells me SP2 is installed. Can you tell me (1) where SP2 is located, and (2)
how to finish installing SP2?
On a related note: after re-installing my OS, (most) of my programs were
still intact, but (most) won't run. I can use IE, but not any of the
antivirus or antispyware programs. Is there a simple way to restore these
programs?
