Re: Windows XP Pro

The CD did not have SP2 installed so I downloaded by dial-up(YUK). Took
forever and had to restart it several times. I'm not sure if SP2 was
downloaded and installed right. Is there any way to know for sure. I'm
having a lot of problems installing programs from disk. Also, I get error
messages that the .exe files are corrupted, which of course inhibits the
proper running of the programs.
