Updateing windows xp pro to sp2
Every time I try to update my computer to service pack 2 I can't boot, I
start it up and it get's to the desktop and then immediatly restarts.....I end up having to do a system restore back to sp1......Also every time I try to run a anti-spyware program it restarts as well....I've tried a few different ones. |

After backing up your data if it isn't already, try a clean install, clean
up/chkdsk/defrag and then install SP 2. Do a clean up/chkdsk/defrag again and then go to Windows Update with the XP firewall enabled. Then install your programs followed by a clean up/chkdsk/defrag. Then install your printer, camera, etc. OR keep fighting with it as it is and waste days to realize you should have done a clean install to begin with.

Make sure your anti-virus program is turned off for a clean install of SP2. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP - (IE/OE) ~IB-CA~ |
