Client installed SP2 on SBS 2k3 R2 Standard and now it just hangs



My client called me to say they clicked on a pop up that began installing
SP2. :-( After the reboot it just hangs on applying computer settings. I
can boot into safe mode and I tried to uninstall SP2 but no luck.

I was going to call PSS tomorrow but I wanted to see if anyone had some
suggestions.

TIA

John
