I misread some of the first message. For WinMe use LSP-Fix - a free program
to repair damaged Winsock 2 stacks

What error message do you get trying to install SP2?

WOW thank you. I don't know how you (folks who answer our questions)
know all these answers, but thanks thanks thanks. Will this program
help on an XP machine that won't install Service Pack 2, probably
because I ran Spybot and AntiVir before I started the install

news
I am trying to get out on the internet though my Linksys router. I
can share files to my main Windows XP machine. I cann ping
216.109.118.68 (yahoo) from a dos promt and get a reply. The ME
machine had Norton Utilities installed, but the person said that
that is when the problems began so I uninstalled it. I installed
spybot and AntiVir (from the downloads that I burned). I am at wits
end. Just trying to get the machine functional for my friend. Any
suggestions?

Try WinsockxpFix:
