I installed SP2 on another computer, and now Internet
Explorer and Outlook fails to work. I think it has
something to do with the new firewall, since whenever I
attmpet to open it on the Security menu is says:

"Due to unidentified errors, Windows cannot display
Firewall settings."

Do I need to uninstall/reinstall SP2? It doesn't look
like there's many options to fix this so far.

Hi

Registering atl.dll and hnetcfg.dll might help.

From Start/Run, run the following commands:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll

then

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll

Adding this command to the list as well:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
