Some of the items in Control Panel are not working (not responding). Other
items work OK. For example "Add/Remove Programs" works OK, "Network and
Internet Connections" does not work (hangs, not responding).

Win XP SP2

How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install: http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

If you run an XP "Upgrade"setup, from the original, or "Gold" version of the setup CD, and you have SP2 installed, it might go into
a setup loop, and you could lose your install. Uninstall SP2, BEFORE you Upgrade setup from CD (that lacks sp2 on it.)
