Windows File Protection Message

Message says 'files that are required for Windows to run properly have been
replaced by unrecognized versions. To maintain system stability, Windows must
restore the original versions of these files.

Insert your Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 CD now.'

I upgraded to SP2 without a CD, by downloading from Microsoft. I know where
the files are, but Windows will not let me point there. Do I need to make a
SP2 CD? I tried inserting the original XP install disk, but I get another
error that says I inserted the wrong disk.

You need to create a Slipstream Win XP CD with Service Pack Two integrated
into the CD.
