How Do I Reset My Machine to Download XP SP2 After Denying It During Upgrade
My computer will not accept the window XP SP2 download
due to a screw-up on my part. During the installation of XP SP2 I remembered I left Norton's AntiVirus and my Screen Saver On. I stupidly killed Norton's and shut off the Screen Saver using the Desktop Properties. When the installation completed my machine would not complete booting. Instead a screen came up with several choices telling me that there was something wrong with my configuration. I selected the normal restart option at least 3 times, but that lead me back to the same screen. Finally I decided to back out of XP SP2 by going into the safe mode option. Later in the day XP SP2 once again appeared to have downloaded to my machine. Instead of installing it, I declined the acceptance of the software and clicked a box saying not to check for these same updates again. After thinking this through, I believe I acted hastily and now wish to reinstall XP SP2 again. The problem is I cannot get the XP SP2 download again since I checked the box asking not to check for these same updates again. I also tried restoring my computer to a time before I did the initial installation of XP SP2 thinking that the I could turn back the clock on that box I checked asking them not to check for the XP SP2 updates again. This did not work! To verify, I went on the windows update page and checked my installation history. It showed that XP SP2 had been successfully installed even though I am running XP Home Edition SP1. I guess that's Microsoft's way of making sure the XP SP2 updates are not resent. To summarize: What must I do to re-enable auto download for XP SP2. Please note, all other updates automatically download. Thank You. |
