World of problems getting to SP2
Hi all!
I am hurtin' here. I have a PC that I got from a friend (the conversation started you know about computers, right). He had installed SP2 a while back and had problems so he "uninstalled" it. Now we cannot get updates. So... I check it out and sure enough he cannot get KB898641 to load. By the looks of the Add/Remove programs, he has been loading SP2 hotfixes for some time. I went out to technet to research what others had encountered and didn't find much. I tried to install the patch in safe mode to no avail. So... I searched MS and found SP2 and downloaded it, twice. I tried to burn it to CD and got a cyclic redundancy error. Then I tried to run it accross the LAN and got the same error. I am seeking a little sage advice. Reformatting and reinstalling is a last resort. |

I have now downloaded the SP2 from the web three times. I have burned it ot
two different disks the first using Pinnacle and the second letting Windows perform the copy. I have accessed it accross the LAN once. Every time, I get the data error (CRC). I have to believe that this is not an isolated incident. This error occurs after extraction has taken place. Any ideas?

David;
That error generally means there is something wrong with the file. Order the CD. Another cause may be bad memory. Reseat all your memory sticks. Perform the Windows Memory Diagnostic: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp If there is an error proceed accordingly. If it passes: If you have multiple memory sticks, remove one at a time making sure to keep at least the 64 mb Windows XP minimum. Use trial and error to determine if a stick is bad. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org "David Langschied" wrote in message ...
