Guest Terry Hall Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Hi all, I installed SP2 yesterday, and a whole bunch of features have stopped working. Help & Support, Search, and Run when selected from the Start button do not function (I get a message saying "Windows cannot create a shortcut here. Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?"); the Administrative Tools, Network Connections, Portable Media Devices, Scanners and Cameras, and Scheduled Tasks links in Control Panel do not respond; I have shortcuts on the desktop to several of the Administrative Tools (AD Users & Computers, System Manager, etc) - the shortcuts still work but the icons for them have disappeared (they just have the generic shortcut icon). The specific packages I installed were: KB948590 KB947864 KB945553 KB944338 KB941693 KB914783 KB904942 KB948881 Anyone have any ideas as to what happened and how to fix this?
