With the Automatic Update feature of WinXP, I was
installing SP2 but the installation was interrupted because
the program couldn't find GetIUMS in file MSDART.DLL. I
have downloaded the correct MSDART file, but I can't get
SP2 to resume. Window Update thinks SP2 is installed.
It's not, because there is no Windows Security Center ican
in my Control Panel, or anywhere else for that matter. How
do I get SP2 to resume its installation?

Please info my e-mail address when you respond.

Thanks, Walt Hines
