Got the batch file from another posting and it worked great. I now have SP2
with no problems. Just did as this posting said;
Try this:
Place the text below in a .bat (batch) file (e.g. paste it into a new
notepad document and save it with e.g. the name fixdb.bat)
Then run the batch file by double clicking on it.
You should run the batch file just after a reboot of the computer (as
the first thing).
The batch file will tell you when it is finished.
Please post any result back here, good or bad :-)
