Compatibility Issues with MS XP Prof SP2
Hi,
My new computer has MS XP Prof SP2 and I am having difficulty installing a couple of key pieces of software I need to install. For instance I tried to install the SAP front end SAPGui and also MS Office Prof 2003. But had significant problems installing both. I am actually wandering whether it would be better to install an operating system without SP2. The reason I say this is becuase I can easily install both pieces of software on another computer I have which has MS XP Home but without SP2. Thanks for your help with this on how to fix these issues. Also any comments on whether its better to go with MS XP Home without SP2 or with MS Win 2000 would be gratefully received. Regards, DRTP |

I've just done a clean install of XP Pro, then installed SP2 and then installed Office 2003 with no problems at all. |

Windows XP runs just fine with SP2 installed. You'll have
to supply some detailed information, including any error messages, in order for someone to recommend a troubleshooting strategy. -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User Microsoft Newsgroups Get Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Advanced Security Technologies: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...xp/choose.mspx ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "DRTP" wrote: | Hi, | | My new computer has MS XP Prof SP2 and I am having difficulty installing a | couple of key pieces of software I need to install.
