XP SP2 Preview
It is possible to uncheck the backup option in the preview? I plan on
reinstalling my copy of XP Home anyway. Thanks, Fred |

No, that is to prevent people from inadvertently not saving the files.
I think that was a problem with SP2 RCs. As long as you are really sure, you can safely delete the uninstall files directly: http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/spack.htm Once you do that, you may need to format and start over in order to install the final version of SP 2. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Fred Smith" wrote in message ...

Is it possible to modify a configuration file or something like it? The

If there is, I don't know it. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Fred Smith" wrote in message ... Is it possible to modify a configuration file or something like it?

XP SP2 Preview
Greetings --
No, there isn't. Because the release candidate version of SP2 will have to be removed _before_ the final version can be installed, the option to "not be able to remove it" is not available. If you're concerned about hard drive space, and are absolutely sure that you'll want to completely replace your OS before installing the final SP, just let it install as is and then delete the archive folders.

Wayne;
Source? "Mid 2004" is the official date: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lif...vicepacks.mspx RC 2 of SP 2 is due real soon, possibly Tuesday. But since RC 2 is not out, there is almost no way for the final SP 2 to be released any time soon. Possibly one to three months. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Wayne" wrote in message news:Wb5zc.47016$Sw.42251@attbi_s51...
