XP SP2

[Aaron]

I updated my machine to XP Service Pack 2. I have 2003
Administrative Pack installed. I ran Active Directory
Users and computers from my workstation and low and behold
it did damage to Group Policy and now I can't open it up.
This is great. I didn't expect any modifications to the
Admistrative Utility. I am using 2000 Server and XP as all
workstations. I will not lay down another XP SP2 until all
the issues have been a remedy. I get this as a error
message:
The folling entry in the [strings] section is to long and
has truncated.

It also comes up with a couple of warnings and it talks
about problems with IE etc.....and eventually SP2 for XP
great. Anyone know of a fix or will I need to restore?
