KB898458???

Giving system to non-profit org.
Reformatted HD and reinstalled winXP(original).
Have had all kinds of problem reinstalling on this older Compaq 8000z.
(update.exe-application errors, Windows Service Pack Setup problems, etc.
etc.) using Compaq 3-disk recovery set. :(
Finally got winxp installed.
D/l and installed all critical updates, etc. + SP1.
The only update not installing, even though system says it has is KB898458.
Keeps popping up on update.

Set auto update to d/l but allow me to install.
Now 1/2 way through install of SP2 keep getting error that "the data is
invalid".
When I go back to auto d/l it states that SP2 is downloaded and ready to
install.

I was getting several driver error msg so I've unplugged/disconnected
everything except one cd-rom and my wireless lan card.

any suggestions?
