sp2

[mitchsb]

I am trying to install sp2 for Windows XP Home. It gets to "Finishing
Insallatioin" and freezes. The details say "Running processes after install."

It has said this since last night at about 10:30 and it is now 7:30am the
next morning.

When you reboot the PC, go into Safe Mode, as Administrator, and install SP2
from within Safe Mode, that way only your basic drivers are loaded, Make
sure you have done a spyware sweep and a full anti-virus scan before doing
this.
Good Luck,

Mickey

I didn't even think of this. Thank you. I will try it.
