Hi,
Yesterday I used a system rescue disk to fix a problem with my sound
drivers. The type of rescue was a non-destructive one - one that keeps
all your files and programs but re-installs the original operating
system and pre-installed software.I was running SP2 before the install
and the rescue CD i have has installed SP1. Now the computer seems to
be running a bit of both SP1 and SP2. I can't start the system restore
program because the System Restore service keeps failing to start. I
can't do a complete install/uninstall of SP2 because the Microsoft
Installer Service also fails to start. I also get numerous errors at
start up with processes that are used by my antivirus and printer.
Could anybody suggest a way to fix this, maybe to install/reinstall SP2
without needing the MSI Service?
Thanks.
