Do you have a source (link) for that?

I don't remember reinstalling the .NET Framework. All I did was installing
SP3 for .NET 1.0 that was published when XP SP2 came out:

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Service Pack 3
<URL:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=6978d761-4a92-4106-a9bc-83e78d4abc5b&displaylang=en>

| SP3 also provides support for Windows XP Service Pack 2
| to provide a safer, more reliable experience for customers
| using Windows XP.

Still, there /can/ be errors after installing Windows XP SP2, for example:

You receive an error message when you add a reference to a COM object in
Visual Studio .NET after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2
<URL:http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;883608>

There are known problems with McAfee VirusScan, that can be solved by
installing a patch:

Patch 5 for McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i
