SP2 problems once again

[Ruthie]

I tried another post but the responses did not apply. My problem is that
after installing SP2:
1. I cannot do a system restore to a point prior to SP2.
2. When I log onto the internet, using OE6, I can send and receive one time
only, any attempt for further use is met with errors, including retrieving
message from this site.
3. I can use IE6 one time only, any further attempts is met with site not
found.
4. Problems 1 and 2 are exclusive. That is I can do either one OE6 or one
IE6 but not one of each.
5. I can disconnect from the internet, relog on and get one iteration
again.

What to do now?

Did you scan your machine for viruses and spyware *before" installing SP2?

Have you downloaded SP2 from WU or the "full" version? I mean, this one:

I don't know, I have automatic update turned on and it selected the site and
software to download.
