Windows messenger gets "enabled" in add/remove windows components,

it doesnt need SP2.Either way,if SP2 did install,at pc start,tap the F8

key,select

safe mode,enter as administrator,go to run,type:cmd In cmd type:CHKDSK C: /F

Agree to restart,type:EXIT Restart pc.If you cant get that far,boot to xp

cd,

select recovery console,select 1 For C: Press enter for password,type:

CHKDSK C: /R Once thru,type:EXIT Let xp start-up.Also,next time SP2 gets

installed,have the 1st cmd from above already entered before restart.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What

anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall

(if any)?
