Every time I download service pack 2 I lose my task bar and icons. Internet
explorer will not start. I tried to download off the computer and finally
sent for disk. Nothing seems to work. I have a 64 bit computer but my XP home
is a 32 bit. I tried to turn off all firewalls and Norton and nothing seems
to work. Thinking of saving all files and starting over(re download XP). The
only way I get everything back is to restore to the earlier time. Any help
would be great.

Which PC are you trying to load SP2 on? Both? Do you have the exact same
problems on both?

Eric,
I have a Atholon 64 bit Processer. I'm not sure if I have 64bit XP. I did
not think that they made a 64bit home edition. But that is the processor that
I have. Only one computer.

Sounds like you might have to get your hands on a 64-bit version of
Windows... :)

If you are running XP Home, then you have a 32-bit operating system on
64-bit hardware, which is fine.

Have you installed the most recent BIOS for the K8 yet?

Here:

Make sure you read the instructions on how to do this so you don't turn the
system into a doorstop.
