274286 2004-09-21 03:44:00 1. Is it a legal & activated copy of XP

2. Do you have any services turned off, as SP2 won't install if some services aren't running

274288 2004-09-21 04:43:00 Off the top of my head, it sounds as if there was an update which didn't install properly.

I would uninstall all updates via the control panel, and reinstall them through the Windowsupdate site.

Lo.

274289 2004-09-21 22:15:00 The following 2 services must be set as below for SP2 to install

Automatic Updates - Automatic
Background Intelligent Transfer Service - Manual or Automatic

Many of the XP tweaking programs around will disable these if you have one installed. Sorry I took so long to get back
