You may have to uninstall service pack2 then reinstall internet explorer.Did you uninstall explorer through the add remove windows component's menu?
Goto start run type sfc /scannow (have xp disk close).
This will start the Windows file protection service and scan all protected files and verify their integrity, replacing any files which are a problem.

Starting with SP2, the IE can be reregistered... so depending on what problem you may have, try this first:

Goto Start, Run, then Type: IE /rereg

If it works don't fix it! If it doesn't use a sledgehammer...

To reinstall the IE version of XP SP2, you reinstall the entire Service Pack.
