View Full Version : SP2 Screwed me up seriously!!!!!!!!HELP
I loaded the SP2 to my computer and when it rebooted I
lost all my files in "my docs" as well as all my emails
in outlook along with my address book, also I lost
all "my favorites" from internet explorer. The icons for
office products all have question marks, and half the
program icons on the desktop disappeared! WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!

SP2 displays a message advising you to backup your
files before proceeding. Did you do this or did you
just roll the dice?
