    as far as "repairing" is concerned - when I last tried to install SP1 on my WinXP I couldn't log in after reboot 'cos I got a message that my key is invalid :| (SP1 checks it at the beginning)

    yeah. If you repair windows there are going to be problems in your hardwares. Sometimes windows cannot detect them.

    I think installing SP2 fixs certain errors as well. If it does not work, I would recommend reinstalling the OS, instead of trying to fix it. It won't take that long, and your system will be more stable that way.
