PoorBob Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hi everybody...If you don't like stupid people you really shouldnt read any further. I was looking at the "Add or Remove programs" window, and accidentally pressed the "change/remove" button for SP2 (****!! I feel stupid ) so without further notice SP2 was removed from the list.I found a reference to c:\windows\system32\SP2.exe in the registry under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" but I cant find SP2.exe in that folder or anywhere on my computer (yes, viewing hidden files)I tried windows update but it didnt find anything missing and nothing seems to be wrong, so I wonder if what I removed was only a setup program or something.Don't know if I should worry about this at all, but anyway it would be nice to see what all you experts out there have to say about it.System properties: General: System:says Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2Anyway, sorry for being a triggerhappy dummie.

KamiQuazi Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Redownload and reinstall SP2 to be sure that nothing important was deleted from the uninstall of SP2... I would do it if that happened to me.. but since i intergrate everything i don't have any problems and it saves time in the long run 4 me...

PoorBob Posted August 8, 2005 Author Share Posted August 8, 2005 Thank you for your replies...I wonder what I did, nothing seems to be missing (well, I'm not sure what I should be looking for that would be missing) and everything works just fine. Anyway it was removed from the "add or remove programs" list in a second and I guess it would take some more time to unintall something.I would also have suspected that some comfirmation button or something would have poped up. I just had enough time for a brief glance at what I was removing before it was gone.Do you have a file called SP2.EXE in your "/windows/system32/" folder?lostincyberspace2007: but since i intergrate everything i don't have any problems...Could you explain to me what you mean a little better, I havent got a slightest idea what you are talking about. Anyway thanx again, and boooggy I think its a little to late but I'll try to stay cool!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
