There are loads of rumours about when Vista SP2 is released. The last I heard is that Microsoft will be releasing SP2 at the end of November 2007 but this will only be the Beta version! General release is not going to be this year, but Microsoft has not announced anything officially. Microsoft was trying to guide people towards the ‘update’ option online.
The Beta version will be pure hell!!!!^^ thats a cut n paste from another site I use and I got the impression from the poster that SP1 had been skipped…?
Sharon we are talking Windows XP, not Vista.
There was a Service pack 1 released for Windows XP, Think it was around Sept/Oct 2002. (yes im sad for knowing lol), It is rather puzzling as to why anyone would be so far behind and only just come to the idea of updating from SP1 to SP2.If you could Update from SP1 to SP2 you would have so many updates you would wish you never botherd for the time it would involve.
Maybe PB can help with user permissions etc and you can update that way, but personally i would format and just get a later version of windows with all updates included, saves so much hassle and time.
I would also imagine if you are using a system with SP1 you possibly have a few nastys in there and other unwanted cr@p, FORMAT ITTTTTTTT LOL!
Computer has a virus, thats why its playing up, you need to run an-virus and fix that first.
Before doing anything else.
Its the only reason I can think of why you can’t up grade.

lol nothing to do with any viruses.
Awww anita gofradump is showing her lack experience
He clearly has an old computer, maybe a Athlon 600 with less than 128mb of ram.
The thing about old computer and Microsoft is they will not updated or load in any new Microsoft programs if Windows think there a virus.
You should know that.
Athlon 600 whats that, must be something new i dont know that 1
Here’s my system spec, read it and weep you can only dream of having a system as advanced as mine.
CPU: Intel 8088, 4.77MHz
RAM: 16K, 640K max
Display: 80 X 24 text
Storage: optional 160KB 5.25-inch disk drives
Ports: cassette & keyboard only
internal expansion slots
OS: IBM PC-DOS Version 1.0Oh yeah who’s the daddy now!
I don’t have an old PC – it’s a Packard Bell that I’ve only had for three years and I have 75GB free on a 107GB hard drive. I was running service pack 2 previously, then it started playing up and I was advised to remove it and reinstall it. I did the first bit but can’t do the second bit which is why I’m in this mess.
PB – I have Windows XP Home Edition. God knows how I have reverted back to Internet Explorer 6. A guy I work with has said he’ll give me a disk to reformat my hard drive but this was about 5 weeks ago. I didn’t get any back up disks with it (he reckons PC World are bad for that)

Most of us where using “cassettes” back in the 80’s.
Try and keep up dear
We did cover installing “windows service pack 2” on these boards some years ago.
I can’t find the post now.
From what I remember you can’t just down load it and install it.
You have to down load it on to an usb memory stick then installed it from that.
Maybe Pb can find the old post and put the answer on here.
