    If you have a Windows XP CD handy put it in your drive, reboot, boot from the CD, choose to Repair windows. You'll be in the Recovery Console, type SFC /SCANNOW and wait. It should restore missing system files and whatnot. Then reboot and still see if you have the issue.
    If you still have it you can try to download Service Pack 2 again and reinstall it, which may replace the missing files or you can boot from the Windows XP CD, choose Install Windows, press F8 to agree, then choose Repair Windows and it should restore all of the system files.

Windows XP update failures after Service Pack 2 installation [ 2 Answers ]

Since installing XP Service Pack 2, the few updates that have occurred subsequently have all failed to install after downloading. Downloading seems to reach 95% completion normally and then slows right down. 'failed' then appears against the update name.
