I use XP Home Edition upgraded to SP2. I inadvertantly uninstalled the
accessory pak (Wordpad, Calculator, games, etc.) and now I am having trouble
reinstalling them. The add programs function will no longer accept my
original CD because the system is now running SP2. Do I need the SP2 CD?

Make a new Windows XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed,
then reinstall Accessories.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)
