There is no such thing as Service Pack 4 for Windows XP. What game are you trying to run?

jackshack · Answer

You need to determine what the SP4 pertains to.  There is no service pack 4 for Win XP, though there will soon be a service pack 3.  Windows 2000 has a service pack 4, but it should refuse to install on a Windows XP system.

According to the specs you provided, the game should run on XP (SP2). Are you installing the game from an administrator account or a user account? OR Have you already installed the game and it simply won't run?

so i searched for the game online...and apparently there was a dated bug in the game that prevented it from loading all the way...so i downloaded a patch for it from the game website....it now works great! thanks! :)
