sp2 to sp1
Hi
Is there anyway to bring down an sp2 machine to sp1? Possibly by reinstalling from xp sp1 cd on top of a sp2 installation? Ideally I would like to retain all apps during the process if possible. Thanks Regards |
John;
Did SP-2 come installed on the computer or was SP-2 part of the installation CD? Perform a Repair Installation with a pre SP-2 CD should do it. But you may have problems with the Product Key, Activation etc depending on the versions involved. Why do you want to downgrade the security of your computer? Eventually you will need SP-2. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar In memory of our dear friend, MVP Alex Nichol http://www.dts-l.org "John" wrote in message ...

BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING, BACK UP EVERYTHING! You can try to do a repair install with the SP1 CD. http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm But remember: BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING, BACK UP EVERYTHING! -- Peace!

This depends on whether your SP2 is a part of your installation. CD just as

The dell pc came pre-installed with sp2. I am having problem with one access
app which uses internet transfer control to post to a web site and it does not work with sp2. All pre-sp2 pcs work fine. I have worked with an ISA server MS guy (as all pcs are behind and sbs2003/Isa 2000 server) and he thinks somehow sp2 is prohibiting the itc from sending user credentials to ISA server hence ISA server responds by 407 Proxy authentication required. Have spent a lot of time on both pc and server settings. Don't know what to do except downgrade the pc to sp1. Thanks Regards "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Would any of these method required re-installing apps?

If SP2 is included with your new Dell PC, it cannot be uninstalled
or removed. Therefore, you cannot downgrade your system to SP1. Using programs and hardware with Service Pack 2 (SP2) http://support.microsoft.com/xpsp2swhw Some programs 'seem' to stop working after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842242 -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Microsoft Newsgroups Get Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security Technologies: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...xp/choose.mspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "John" wrote: | The dell pc came pre-installed with sp2.

Hi John,
I noticed that your SP2 is pre-installed ,so cannot be removed separatedly. "John" ... Would any of these method required re-installing apps? Thanks Regards "S.Sengupta" wrote in message ...

I have got a couple of new pcs coming in the same configuration. If I
repair-install with sp1 before installing any app, would that work? Obviously I can always completely wipe off and start with sp1 on a pc but whatever is quickest.

No. There are no SP2 uninstall files with a preinstalled SP2 installation.
An attempted Repair Install using a SP1 Windows XP CD will fail because SP2 would have to be uninstalled first. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Microsoft Newsgroups Get Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security Technologies: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...xp/choose.mspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "John" wrote: | I have got a couple of new pcs coming in the same configuration.

Hi, Carey, that is wrong, a Repair Install with a SP1 Windows XP CD will actually remove SP2. From http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm quote Please note that a Repair Install from the Original install XP CD will remove SP1/SP2 and service packs will need to be reapplied. /quote -- torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx |

Hello Torgeir -
SP2 cannot be removed if the original SP2 uninstall files do not exist, such as the case with a preinstalled Windows XP installation with SP2 already slipstreamed in at the factory. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Microsoft Newsgroups Get Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security Technologies: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...xp/choose.mspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Torgeir Bakken (MVP)" wrote: | Hi, | | Carey, that is wrong, a Repair Install with a SP1 Windows XP CD will | actually remove SP2. | | From | http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm | | quote | Please note that a Repair Install from the Original install XP CD | will remove SP1/SP2 and service packs will need to be reapplied. | /quote | | | -- | torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway | Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of | the 1328 page Scripting Guide: | http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx |
I think the point of contention is that if you perform a "Repair" install
with any earlier XP version disk, you will remove whatever SP level existed. But you are right that embedded or Slipstreamed disks do not have a SP roll-back capability.
