XP SP2 Beta

[Mark]

I have one of the beta versions of Service Pack 2. When I goto Windows
Update and select install service pack 2, it continually responds
"Installation Failed". Is there a way to deactivate service pack 2 beta so
that the commercial version will install?

Mark,

Go to Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel (turn on Show Updates if
needed) and de-install the Beta build from there prior to installing the
final released product.

You Can get a FREE Copy, throiugh Microsoft, I THINK. I will be geting a
copy of SP2, In the mail, Supposedly! I don't know if I will/not, but I have
Created Club Shepherd, for the gaming zone. It solves a lot, for them. And
I would expect payment by Microsoft, if they use my Programming Ideas. 225++
working hours I took to Solve EVERY KNOWN Problem! I expect to see it
created by Dec. 24th! Club Shepherd, Me, is what I Named my Code Changes.
If you would like to read my quest work solution, send me an e-ml. Thx,
Microsoft! Bill Gates is THEE Man one more time, THX BG!
