Three times I tried to upgarde my windows Xp 2002 to XP SP2 and it
failed. The progress bar stopped after three indicator the last
time. My system is 800 MHZ, 40GB and 240 MB of RAM. What is causing
this problem? It used to be 120 MB of RAM but I added additional
120 MB
Uhm - are you sure about the amount of RAM/memory?
It's normally in a number such as 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB (1024MB),
etc and so on...
- Backup your stuff...
- Uninstall any unused software from the Add or Remove Programs control
panel.
- Visit the manufacturer's web site for EACH of your hardware components and
download/install the latest hardware drivers. (Motherboard chipset, video
card, sound card, network card, etc.)
- Check for updates for each of the software packages you have installed and
install the updates if available.
- Using something like SuperAntiSpyware - do a thorough check for
spyware/adware.
- Using your UPDATED AntiVirus - do a thorough check for
viruses/trojans/worms.
- I like to run CCleaner and clear up all the temporary files and such
taking up space.
- CHKDSK the system drive (usually c:\.)
- DEFRAGment the system drive.
- Download the full SP2 installer (says for IT professionals - no biggie)
and utilize it to install SP2.
