kellys corner update
I tried and tried to get windows to load. It craps out on sp1 and sp2 maybe
something was wrong at Microsoft download site. I just reloaded it about 5or6 weeks ago. I finally loaded Linux ubuntu on the machine. I started with win 95 and windows has been all I have ever known. What a shock this has been. Different does not even come close to covering it Sammy Castagna

Hi Sammy,
Load XP back and order the SP2 update on disk and/or get someone else to download it for you to a pen drive and/or burn it to a cd. I keep the executable on a pen drive here for the same reason. -- All the Best and Happy Holidays, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Sammy Castagna" sammycastagna$hotmail.com wrote in message ...

Kelly,
I can burn them to a cd. I know microsoft at one time would let you download the sp1 I found a copy when I was going through all my cd's. I will do som looking around on the microsoft site and google to see what I can find and burn sp2. But I will want to have everything together when I start. I thank you for all your support I know some of the questions people ask are irritating to experts. Sammy Castagna "Kelly" wrote in message ...

Jim If I order a copy of sp3 will that replace the need for sp1 and sp2? and
will that satisfy the computer? I have not read the entire site but some of the links take you back to Microsoft. Or am I missing the point. Sammy "Jim Dell" wrote in message ...

So installing SP3 will also install those parts of SP1 & SP2 that are not replaced by SP3 components. That is not the case with Office service packs, you need to install them in order. Jim

Windows XP2 does, indeed, by-pass the need for SP1. I had expected XP3 to do the same. This proved NOT to be the case. SP2 had to be installed *before* the application of SP3. I'm sure the gurus will confirm! Dave
