When is Microsoft going to fix this update. My computer
is going nuts! Can't find my printer, mouse dies, etc.
etc.
 
Hi Doug,

SP2 does not interfere with the mouse or printer!!!

Please provide a clear problem description for help

You should try replacing the system hive from the recovery console. Please
see steps below:

Steps:

1. Start the computer from the Windows XP CD-ROM.
a. Press the key specified to enter your BIOS. In most cases you need to
press Del to enter the BIOS setup. You should see a message on startup, right
in the beginning, which says something like “press <key> to enter setupâ€.
E.g. Press Del to enter setup.
b. Go into either the Boot section, if you have one, or the 2nd option
(should be something like “BIOS features setup†or “Advanced BIOS featuresâ€).
c. Change to boot sequence (should show as “boot sequence†or first boot
device; 2nd boot device; 3rd boot device; etc.) so that CD-ROM is first.
d. Exit saving changes.
e. When prompted to “Press any key to boot from CDâ€, press Enter.
2. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press R to repair a Windows XP
installation by using the Recovery Console.
3. Type the number that corresponds to the Windows installation that you
want to repair, and then press ENTER. For example, type "1" (without the
quotation marks), and then press Enter.
4. When you are prompted for a password, type the local Administrator
password, and then press ENTER. (If you are not prompted for a password, skip
to the next step.)
5. Type "cd system32" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.
6. Type "cd config" (without the quotation marks), and then press ENTER.

The command prompt will be similar to the following (where <Windows> is the
folder in which Windows is installed):

C:\<Windows>\System32\Config>

7. Type "rename system system.old" (without the quotation marks), and then
press ENTER.
8. Type "copy c:\windows\repair\system" (without the quotation marks), and
then press ENTER.

You receive the following message:

1 file(s) copied.

9. Type "exit" (without the quotation marks) to quit the Recovery Console,
and then start Windows as usual.

Regards,
Kit
