Okay, problem's back; I reinstalled the "Net" framework (which I didn't have on the ghost copy) on this thing AFTER I'd put in the SP2 update, and it don't work again as soon as I rebooted.
    So, I went back and discovered that they'd changed the Knowledge Base all around and I can't find anything there. And they've changed the updates page too, and it doesn't seem to have the option to reinstall stuff like the SP2 update.
    I suppose I could download the full pack but that's like 266 megs over a DUN connection and will take all day and all night. (Besides I need to know this anyway.)
    
    Quaere then: How does one get the WIN XP Service Pack 2 to reappear and reinstall from the AutoUpdate page?
