I currently have sp1 (with windows Xp Home EDITION) and i downloaded sp2 but i cant install it ...when i try its just FREEZES..i even left the installation over night but it dosent do anything...

what am i doing wrong??? thanksIs this a legal version of Windows XP?

Some requirements:

At least a 233MHz processor
At least 64MB of RAM (256MB is more realistic)
At least 1.8GB of free hard disk space (SP2 is about 75MB, but apparently needs 1.8GB to install)

Also, are you logged on with administrative rights?

Let us know.  8-)



well...............

Is this a legal version of Windows XP?....yeah
 
At least a 233MHz processor...yes
At least 64MB of RAM...yeah i have 1G
At least 1.8GB of free hard disk space..yeah i have plenty!
 
Also, are you logged on with administrative rights.....Im not sure ...how do i check...can i just LOG in with safe mode
(with administer account) then install it?
 
  
For administrative rights, logon as a user defined as adminstrator. Did you download SP2 from the Windows Update site or did you get a full copy from WinXP SP2. The file might be corrupt.

Check your device manager. Ensure there are no yellow question marks or exclamation points. Do a full scan with your AV and AntiSpyware software and cleanup your machine if necessary.

Let us know how you make out.  8-)

Not sure about installing SP2 in safe mode. I would SUGGEST against it as all your attached devices may not be recognized by the OS.

also be sure to check with your computer manufacturer web site most pc's need certain updates before sp2 will work right with your pc.What is the error message you get when you try to install it?again unspecified problems...
Just freezes ? nothing more? any errors? any messages?
any NOTES? say "go there" - "click here"?
