UNSOLVED
Windows XP SP2
I have been holding off upgrading from SP1 to SP2 due to the many issues I read about in the initial release. As my machine just continues to hum away, there is no real need to upgrade. Now I have a program that requires XP SP2 to operate. I am torn about making the change as things work so well now. Any experience or advice on whether to take the plunge?
- What Model is your PC? . . Be sure to read and follow these suggestions You can also download the Full SP2 update, the full one seems to go much smoother than using Windows Update version.
I did the update, or tried to and after the files unloaded, I got an error message saying "Access Denied to SP2 setup". Then a message saying the install failed. I tried it again and the same thing. Sent a message to MS Support to see what they can figure out. I had all programs closed including my virus scanner and Zonealarm. Oh well, at least it got me to do all the past updates first.....Thanks

- That is often an indication that Microsoft has not validated your installation . . have you run the " Genuine Advantage Tool" . . it has been causing problems for some OEM installations lately, but there is a fix for Dells,

if you can hold out just a little longer, the whole OS will be obsolete.
just kidding - update to SP2. i have lots of machines running XPsp2 with no problems.
