Yep, that's a common problem with SP2 (though I will tell you I didn't have it on any of the computers that I support or my personal computers).  However there are two things you can do.  One is two boot your computer into safe mode, at the BIOS splash screen keep pressing F8 until you get boot options , then select Safe Mode, if you can get into Windows with safe mode then it is likely a driver related issue and could very easily be caused by a BIOS update.\n\nThe other thing is to uninstall SP2, Microsoft has more information on how to do that, http://support.microsoft.com/KB/875350\n\nIE 7 is currently in Beta 2 form while better than Beta 1 it still isn't ready for prime time.  There are still a small few issues to work out so I would wait for the fine version of IE 7 before you get it.  I'm glad the system restore worked out for you but until you can figure out what is causing the problem with SP2 (I'm still guessing the BIOS update) you are better off without it.\n\nThere are also some security issues with IE 7 as well.

it sounds like you are trying to 'UPGRADE' to win xp.\n\nThe PC is still trying to boot to the former OS it sounds like.\n\ninsert the XP disk, re-boot, make sure it is set to boot from CD.  When prompted to 'install' or 'repair', Press 'R' for repair.\n\nthen it will desplay 2 windows installations, press the number that corresponds to the XP installaton, then enter.\nit should then ask for the Administrator password, just press enter.\n\nat the dos prompt type: 'fixboot' (no quotes,) then enter\nit will ask you to confirm....say yes.\n\nwhen the prompt returns, type: 'fixmbr' (again, no quotes,) then enter.\nConfirm it again...yes\n\nremove the CD, type 'exit', then enter.\n\nThat should do it.

Kindly disregard the previous advice, as it doesn't pertain to your problem.\n\nTo fix your problem, boot to your Windows CD and perform a "repair installation". \n\nHere are instructions, with screen shots, on how to do that:\n\nhttp://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/repair_xp.htm#How%20to%20Repair%20Windows%20XP%20by%20Installing%20Over%20top%20of%20Existing%20Setup:\n\nNote: When you get to the page you may have to scroll to the link that says "How To Run A Repair Install"

Go to Netgear.com. There is an issue with the drivers that came on the installation disk and SP2. On the site there is a patch and a Microsoft Compatible driver for it.\nI was having a problem with the adapter as well. It kept restarting my computer when I went to download anything or play games online.\nIt's a zip file, so download it, decompress it, open it and double click the "autorun" subfile". Install the driver, then click exit. Go to the device manager and click on network adapters, pull up Netgear WG111 properties. Click on drivers, then click on update driver. That should load the new driver.\nI hope that helps.

it should reboot into "normal" mode when you reboot.  It may have a problem still and not want to boot normally.\nIf you press the F8 key when it is booting you should have an option to start normally.\n\nIt can also be set in msconfig. Someone may have set it for safeboot\nsee the symatec link

While tyring to restart hit the F8 key repeatedly and see if it will throw you into safe mode then choose you method to restart from the menu

I think theres a file named internetnetexp.exe or something in windows servicepack 2 by which you can install it again.

1) Try Start, Configuration, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs\n\n\n2) If it fails, try the Windows install cleanup utility:\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;290301
