Hi hichris_4u
You should be able to replace the Explorer.exe. Type in the command prompt
expand C:\I386\explorer.ex_ %systemroot%\explorer.exe This will expand a new copy to the windows directory.
You should also download a new version of SP2 and reinstall it. You also could
download a clean copy of
SP2 Click the Download button. The file is 266MB. Create a folder on the C:\ root called
SP2 and download it there. Create another folder called
SP2 files now at a command prompt type
C:\SP2\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe /x it’ll ask you to specify an directory so point it to the SP2 Files folder and let it extract there. Now type in the command prompt
expand C:\SP2 Files\I386\explorer.ex_ %systemroot%\explorer.exe to expand a new copy to the windows directory.
If you get an error on destination, try
expand C:\SP2 Files\I386\explorer.ex_ c:\windows\explorer.exeIf you expanding fron the I386 from the C:\ root try
expand C:\I386\explorer.ex_ c:\windows\explorer.exe
If all fails, try and download SP2 onto another machine and then burn it to a CD for install.
Good Luck,
Mark
