Service Pack 2 (SP2)

External Since: Sep 23, 2006 Posts: 5

After upgrading to Service Pack 2 my "Accessories" items have disappeared. I
no longer have access to games, the calculator, fax options, and other minor
accessories that are a standard feature on my computer. When I try to
correct the problem I am being asked for a Service Pack 2 disc. Service pack
2 did not come with my computer, therefore I do not have this disc. Is there
anyway to bypass this or another way to correct this problem?

Hi Niki,

That is the link to the Service Pack 2 for IT Professionals, but anyone
can download and use. This is what I had installed for Service Pack 2. This
has everything. You might want to download and reinstall Service Pack 2 on
top of the existing operating system.

If you ever have to reformat and reinstall, make sure that you make a
Backup of the Service Pack, perhaps in a different partition. I always
download to My Briefcase, makes it easier to find and to install, just click
on it. No need to remove it from the Briefcase Folder.
