Uninstall SP2 as per the link below with your Anti-Virus disabled. If
your A/V was running when you installed SP2, that may be the cause of
your problems, although you didn't specify what they are.

Remove & Reinstall both with your A/V off and all other programs
closed and hopefully, that will solve your issues.

Follow the instructions here to remove SP2:
