Re-install SP2 after repair install?

Hi,

My computer came with Win XP Pro SP1 and I upgraded to SP2 via a download
earlier this year. I had to do a repair install from the SP1 CD-ROM to try
to
resolve booting problems and now it seems many of the SP2 features (e.g.,
firewall, pop-up blocker) are gone.

Do I need to re-install SP2? If so, where do I get it? Windows Update does
not seem to bring it up as an option.

What else should I watch for?

Thanks,

Gabriel

After a repair install you need to install all updates. I'm not at all sure
why the update site isn't offering it.
