Hey can you tell me how you fixed it or what you read to determine it?

Can you email me so I can get the answer?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice.

Actually read through some earlier posts and was able to resolve the issues.

Next time I'll research more before posting!!

Have you tried, install Windows XP, upgrade to SP2, and then do updates?

My hard drive crashed and had to install a new one on a Dell laptop.

Reinstalled XP and all associated updates.

When I try to update to service pack 2 it hangs on "checking product key."
Has happened at least 4 times now. I'm ready to give up and just run what
I
have.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
