It's free and there's no DRM on it, copy it and share it as much as you want. After you install XP go ahead and slip the SP2 CD in and boom, there you go. Of course, you'll still have other updates to install but that's about an hour saved right there.</p> Mon, 27 Nov 2006 01:56:19 +0000 PopeCuervoLime comment 1210971 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/cant-install-xp-sp2#comment-1210510 <p>how long have you left the system and have you tried running the upgrade from safemode (with networking)?</p> Tue, 14 Nov 2006 23:38:36 +0000 Neutron2k comment 1210510 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/cant-install-xp-sp2#comment-1208517 <p>I don't have any antivirus or antispyware installed.. it has essentially nothing yet... <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/sad.png" title="Sad" alt="Sad" class="smiley-content" /></p> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 21:59:44 +0000 Triexa.com comment 1208517 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/computer-help/cant-install-xp-sp2#comment-1208516 <p>I have heard of people having this problem, some reasons were nortons (AV) and the latest updates causing problems (clashing).<br /> disable nortons if you have it and uninstall some of the updates (very time consuming thou) until it will install</p> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 21:42:18 +0000 Busy comment 1208516 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
