Re: Service Pack 2 problem

Gerry:

This morning I tried once again to install SP2 from the already downloaded
file. The Wizard started working. But now it has been seemingly stuck on
"Inspecting your current configuration for more than 90 minutes. Moreover,
the "grogress indicator bar" shows no darkened horizontal column progress at
all.

Is this normal?

Thanks.

Ron

Thanks for your reply, Gerry. I don't believe I've ever had a
Windows XP CD. XP came bundled with my computer when I bought it and
I don't recall also getting a CD.

What is your Windows XP CD? How is it described on the face of the
CD?

After successfully downloading all 266 MB of Service Pack 2, I
tried to run/install it in my Windows XP. (I need Service Pack 2,
apparently, in order to run Office Home and Student 2007.) When I
try to rune the Service Pack 2 exe file I get the following error
message: "The expected version of the product was not found on
your system."

I probably should also mention that I've been through one of the
levels of Computer Hades of late -- and had to resort to the
Restore function. I lost a lot of software and am now trying to
download a new Office program.

Thanks for any help!
