did you download this and install it or is it in the cd?

like it or not, this will have to be re-installed. What you need to do is slipstream sp2. you can do this with autostreamer. This will make an iso for you to burn to a cd. this will solve most if not all of your problems.

I really hated sp2 and have since reloaded sp1 with no problems.
