WIN XP PRO SP2

[DIJIFO]

I installed win xp with built in SP2. My firewall services are corrupt, so I
think I need to reinstall SP2.

When I run the SP2 setup from the CD provided by Microsoft, it tells me I
can't install SP2 over the existing sp2. I must remove it first. But I don't
see in the add/remove programs.

How do I remove SP2???? so I can reinstall it?

Hi

What exactly is the problem with the Firewall? A 'Repair' install shouldn't
need an uninstall. Please have a look at the following article by Michael
Stevens:
