XP Pro workstation with SP2 installed. Client had issues and restored Windows using the restore cd which had SP1 on it. Many functions are not working including Outlook and I am unable to uninstall SP2 or access any of the icons associated with it. Is a format the only option at this point?

I tried the options available to uninstall the service pack but even the $ntservicepackuninstall$ folder cannot be found so a conventional uninstall isn't going to work either. I thought about downloading SP2 again and reinstalling it but at 266mb it's quite a haul and I'm not sure that it's going to work.
