I unloaded winxp service pack 2 and now i cannot get online? but my other
programs can still download updates? but not windows XP? ran the internet
setup wizard using my DSL and still nothing?
 
Hi,
From Control Panel> Internet Options> Advanced> uncheck "Enable third party
browser extensions." If that allows IE to work, another program is causing
the problem- possibly an adware, spyware type program.
Note: you should re-enable browser extensions after resolving the situation.

Work through the solutions (CWShredder, Ad-aware, Spybot) at
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm Also note the security tips on that
page.

If not caused by malware, consider disabling (for diagnostic purposes)
legitimate programs running in the background which might be interacting
with IE- security, antivirus, firewall, ad-blockers, toolbars & other
add-ons, etc.
You may have to uninstall then reinstall, or not reinstall, a program. Some
programs need an update to work properly with XP SP2.

Hope this helps,
Don
