1. Uninstall SP2, if currently install, via Add/Remove Programs and
reboot.
2. Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your HijackThis
log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware.

3. Do not install SP2 until an expert gives your HijackThis log a clean
bill of health.

I have recently had to reinstall Windows XP. I had Windows XP + SP2
installed on the system but because of a loss of motherboard USB function
thought I would try doing an in-place repair of Windows XP.
I tried this in two ways:
1. I have slipstreamed Windows XP + SP2 CD I created and have used with
great success on other computers. However, when I used this, I always
ended
up booting to a black unresponsive screen after seeing the 'Windows XP'
logo; moreover, safe mode would not work either.
2. Subsequently, I used my original WIndows XP SP1 OEM CD to help me do
an
in-place repair which would allow me to log into Windows + safe mode +
allow
downloads of updates. However, every time I try to install SP2 on top of
this, I get an 'SP2 install has encountered an errror and needs to close'
during the 'cleaning up' pahse of the install. Moreover, even though SP2
is
listed as being installed, the system behaves exactly as in situation (1)
and will not boot past the black screen after the Windows XP logo OR into
safe mode.
I have read every Microsoft support article I can find and tried many
things, including cleaning the registry, turning off anti-virus, etc etc,
but none of them seem to work.
I have the contents of the svcpack.log from last attempted SP2 install
over
XP SP1; this can be emailed/appended to any poster; I tried to add it in
the
text here but it makes the post too long. Perhaps someone else may be
able
to shed some light on my problem?
Thanks in advance.
Pete
