HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\KB835409 to file
C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\reg01610. 5:Access is denied"

Hi Mark,

I've typed that in but my computer would not accept the /A at the end
"could
not find the specified file". I tried it without the /A and nothing
happened?

Thanks

I would guess from what was in your post that you ran setup and
installed
a
fresh copy of the system, and failed to 'activate' it yet. This would
lead
to a failure to update to SP2 from the updates site, because
activation
is
required to do that.
To run the activation dialog, go to start/run, and type:
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /A

Help All,

After my computer was stuck in a loop i rebooted from the Windows XP
cd.
I
then went to Windows updates and downloaded all the updates. I then
tried
to
install SP2 but was greeted with an "access denied" message. I
followed
various replies posted on these fourums to remedy this but it did
not
work.
I then rebooted again from the cd and now i have lost access to
Windows
Updates.

On the 1st occasion i have tried using a different admin account,
unistalling my Panda antivirus and i have tried to follow
instructions
to
use
a SubInAcl file, this i am out of my depth.

On the 2nd occasion i believe i have lost a jscript.dll file but
again
i
have encountered confiedence problems trying to fix this.

Any ideas anyone?
