HELP!!! SP2 problem

HI can anyone please help,
I have long suffered the non working of media player and now use kodec instead, but I think the reason is that sp2 is not installed. I decided to put sp2 back on but it won`t load, I get a message "the requested section was not present in the activation context" This was from the disc, so i thought i`d download it from msoft but when it runs it check it says it is unable to do so!! stumped!!! I always had it on my pc before but took it off for some reason, something is obviously amiss, i even done a re-install over my xp and run scandisc, but it still doesn`t work.

Thanks in advance

copying dvd files

Can anyone tell me how to copy more than one video file onto dvd. I converted the mpeg files to video ts vob etc but in nero when i drag the second file over it just says that the video files are already there. I`ve tried renaming them, but that doesn`t work. All I seem to be able to copy is one clip on one dvd and thats a waste, I just want to put a small compilation together. I also tried it on dvd fab. Please help if you can

Thanks in advance

RE: Corrupt .pst file...

Have you tried running CHKDSK in dos. If you know what Directory its in, possibly in
C:\i386. If you do it with the /f switch it may say its unable to do it, but type "y" when it says it can do it on the next boot up.

Good luck
