Re: XP SP2 Removal

I recently had to re-install Windows Professional. I have an earlier version of the software that does not have SP2. The new installation removed part of the Security Center and now it does not work. There's no way to remove it from the ADD/REMOVE programs because it is no longer on the list. When I try to download it from MS.C it says I already have it. If I remove the Security Center from the REG can I download it then or will removing it from the REG cause me more problems?

Can you be more specific describing the steps? Which Service Pack level is Windows at now? When you reinstalled did you format the system partition before installing Windows again?

Do you have good backups of your data? If you do, you might save time by doing a clean format/install. From your post, it sounds like your install was not entirely clean.
