XP Service 1/1a won't finish install!
-----Original Message----- Okay, I've tried to install the XP Service pack (I'm running Professional, btw) several times and it will never finish the intall. It downloads, starts to install, the wizard pops up and pretty soon after the "archive" window opens, the install shuts down. There is no error msg number to refer to, it just says "Service Pack Install Stopped" in a little gray box with a red circle w/an X. Please tell me, do I need the SP? And if so, can I accomplish this some other way? Thanks! . if you have a copy then it sounds like somebody else is using the same cd key, if not send microsft an e-mail and they should be able to help you |

To eliminate any interactions with drivers or applications boot
to Safe mode (F8) and install the Service Pack from there. You will need to download the Admin version prior to doing this. The URL is http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en wrote in message ... -----Original Message----- Okay, I've tried to install the XP Service pack (I'm running Professional, btw) several times and it will never finish the intall.
