If your plan is to install SP2, then no need to install any updates to SP1. Get SP2 installed then do windows update for the post SP2 fixes. Also don't ever install driver updates from there. Those should be obtained from the device manufacturer's web site. The download of the SP2 file might have been corrupted. Try it again or get the free SP2 CD. It can be had for free from many computer type stores and office supply places. Or order it from MS. It comes fast. Order Windows XP Service Pack 2 on CD http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...efault810.mspx See these links for tips on preparing the system for SP2 installation: Installing Service Packs http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/xpsp2.htm http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spackins.htm Pre-Install, Install, Cleaning Up Afterwards http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=45 What to Know Before You Download and Install Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/s...hattoknow.mspx Get the Latest Updates and Information from Your PC Manufacturer Before Installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/oemlinks.mspx The hard disk space requirements for Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837783 Free Technical Support for SP2 http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...09&gprid=6794& |
