Have you tried windows update?

Good Luck
search from microsoft.com

although, i suggest you to ask if one of your friend have it ( the sp2 installer) because the size is large %26gt;100mb(if i'm not wrong)
You'll probably need to buy it.
Below is a link that will take you to the Microsoft web site. Click on the link entitled How To Get Windows XP SP2 which will open a web page describing how to get this upgrade.

http://support.microsoft.com/xpsp2getins...
you can also get sp2 from www.softwarepatch.com and click on the windows tab on the left and scroll down till you find sp2, it is about a 270mb download. this is where i got mine and i have had no problems with it

Windows XP - How do I check if I have SP2 installed?

I have bought an add-on that tells me I must have SP2 (Service Pack 2) installed.

Evidently it is a key update that should have been installed over 2 years ago automatically, but some PCs still don't have it.

How do I check if I have it or not?

What do I press?

Sensible answers please - Point Hunters will be rated low!

I have windows xp pro installed and am trying to install SP2 and it will not nomatter where i go it

y is this i just installed a fresh copy of xp pro

I have windows xp pro installed and am trying to install SP2 and it will not nomatter where i go it wont instawindows update

First of all, check your install CD to see if it already is SP2. If it was included on the CD then it's already installed.

Second, try going to www.windowsupdate.com. That is microsofts windows update site. It should tell you to upgrade to SP2 if you don't have it installed.

Third, if nothing else works, is your copy of windows pirated? You will not be allowed to install any updates through the internet without having a legit copy of windows.

switch to linux(ubuntu) best idea!
Is it possible your fresh copy of XP Pro might already be an SP2 copy. You can download Belarc Advisor and check everything about your computer including which version of XP Pro you have running
have you tried the microsoft website?
U don't need Belarc to find out ur specs, just right-click the My Computer icon, click Properties, and the General tab says it all.

Can I install windows Xp in two languages?

I have downloaded Malayalam version of windows xp. Now im using English version Xp sp2, Can I install both two languages of win Xp at same time?

Can I install windows Xp in two languages?web browser

Yes but you have to install separate copies. ie. you have to install XP twice and in different partitions.

Installing in different drive partitions is critical to avoide system conflicts.

After you do this, you get selection menu (asking you to select between two XP) during booting.

But, you have to restart your computer to shift from one XP to next.

Can I install windows Xp in two languages?windows installer internet explorer

No it is not possible....
Yes and no.

You can operate Windows XP in 2 languages, but not at the same time.

What you can do it:

1. Install XP, during installation it'll ask for language settings. Select one default.

2. Install support for the other language you want.

3. Now from control panel you can go to regional settings (or something like that) and keep changing the language as and when you want.

PS: Re-installation of OS is not mandatory for multiple language support.

If i clear the cmos battery i can recover the xp pro sp2 adddminsitrator password?

To recover th administrator password requires special software and either a reinstall or thrid party access through software. You can do some searching at microsoft.com and come up with their basic information. but i also know it can be done with erd commander and fairly easily

If i clear the cmos battery i can recover the xp pro sp2 adddminsitrator password?safari browser internet explorer

Removing CMOS battery will only reset the BIOS and BIOS password.

XP admin password is stored in hard drive and you need special software or OS installation discs to reset it.
that will defiently NOT do it... that is to clear a BIOS password
NO. the complementary metal Oxide battery works on the Bios and the mother board

not the hard drive

go to google and type administrator password recovery
No, clearing the CMOS battery will only clear the BIOS password. It will not effect anything on the hard disk such as software passwords including those used by the operating system.

If you can get the .SAM file off the hard disk which holds all the Windows passwords, you should be able to run L0phtCrack against the file to perform a brute force attack.

If you believe that the password is complex, i.e includes numbers and symbols, also consider downloading a set of rainbow tables to speed up the attack.
No. You will only change the setup configs.
Google this. "sourceforge rainbow tables" you'll find a way to make a live CD %26amp; do what you need

I can tell you that you are wasting your time. Microsoft Genuine Advantage, checked four times my genuine key prior to allowing me to update Windows Internet Explorer to their near release version from their beta version.

The best thing you can do is go out an purchase Windows XP Home Edition SP 2 and you will have a valid key.

How come I can buy windows xp professional for $39? Is store a scam?

www.OEMSOFTWEAR.com

they have windows genuine xp professional sp2 pack for only $39 free shipping. are they legal?

How come I can buy windows xp professional for $39? Is store a scam?windows live messenger

I've seen this before on EBay. It's an OEM version (ships with a new computer system), so it just comes in the box. Some companies (IT departments) that get alot of computer systems passing through don't really need all of these "backup" disks laying around, and if they sneak out and appear on the internet, oh well. However, on EBay, to make it legal, they shipped the sofware with a working (or nonworking) junk piece of hardware, like an old memory stick so as not to violate license. However, in this case, who knows if they've already used the cd key to activate something.

How come I can buy windows xp professional for $39? Is store a scam?microsoft money internet explorer

This might or might not be a scam, I would say 80% scam, 20% not-a-scam in my opinion. I found very few listings on Google and there's not really any info on the site. I'm not sure, but I'd say it's a scam. And most results say office, not the OS.
More than likely yes it is a scam. It is illegal to sell oem software w/o hardware as far as i understand.
I wouldn't go for it.

1. the advertis free shipping from over seas

2. they don't show up in BBB.org (http://search.bbb.org/)

3. usually a company that is selling software will have company email and not a personal email (and they offer no telephone number)

4. site just looks poorly constructed. If it's legit, it would surprise me.
Careful, that might just be another license. If it really is the full version, scam, if the store isn't listed on Bizrate, http://www.bizrate.com/ (in store ratings) then I wouldn't buy from them. I would also see if it is possible to look them up on the BBB, http://www.bbb.com/ if they aren't listed there then that just screams scam. If they don't have any lables from the BBB or Bizrate on their site, I won't buy from that store.

On the other hand if a store has the Bizrate seal of excellence on their site... buy from them, you won't get let down. Even better if they have both the Bizrate seal and the BBB shield... wow... don't shop anywhere else.

There's something wrong in either your CD or CD-ROM drive

I had a problem in my windows Xp and i tried to reinstall it.now my pc is not allowing to install any os?microsoft windows internet explorer

It sounds like some sort of rom file was corrupted in your computer or a damaged disk drive. There shouldn't be any harm done to it now but you should talk to a local computer technician.
Ubuntu uses a different boot sector type - incompatable with windows.

Boot off DOS diskette (win95 startup disk?)

at the command prompt

c:%26gt;

type in

fdisk /mbr

go and load windows - it will work now.
insted of changing hard disk, try changing your cd-rom drive. if the same problem arises, try changing RAM. It's definetely either cd-rom or ram problem. I faced such problem %26amp; solved changing any 1 of these 2.

THANK YOU.
Since you have changed the harddisks and also tried several installation disks of different OS, the error remains. It would appear that you have a faulty or dirty CD drive. The drive is not reading the CD properly and terminte the installation process prematurely.

Try changing anther CD driver and try again.

Sometimes, pulling up the connectors at the back of the drive and at the motherboard and re-seat them may fix this kind of problem.

If you have a dirty laser head in the CD drive, one would have to open up the case and use clean water or spirit with soft cloth to clean the laser head. Do not use other cleaners

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Frequent Crashes.?

I have just reformatted my windows and installed and now it is run on win xp sp2. But my computer would crash/freeze completely all of a sudden like once every hour or so. I also have antivirus program BitDefender 2008 installed and have just ran its registry scan/cleaner. I’m now trying hard to find out the cause and to fix this. I was thinking, could the registry scan/cleaner have messed up the win xp’s registry and thus causing these crashes? Also I’ve noticed every time I shutdown/logoff windows, “spool.exe” would have trouble closing and I would always have to force it to “end now”.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Frequent Crashes.?windows movie maker

Try using your xp CD to repair your current windows (it is not a reformt, you wont lose your files). As for spool.exe, some people are saying that it is part of a worm/virus but one site says it is a windows file. Try downloading a program called spybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index... and download their latest scanner to see if you can find that file.

Also if your still getting errors with SP2 then I am sorry but you might have to reformt and only install SP1 (had same kind of problem with old computer) either that you you buy a new HDD because your current one might be dieing.

Display setting needs to set at every restart in window xp pro sp2?

hi, i m using xp in domain. a user in an administrator group gets the resolution of 1024x768. but a normal or domain user get 800x600.

the user must be add in admin group then and only it will get 1024x768. my system is hp d530cmt. display adapter is intel 82865.

even i had installed latest display driver but there is not solution for that.

if u have any tips or trick for the same. pls give me.

Display setting needs to set at every restart in window xp pro sp2?windows media player 11

i think you have some group policy security enabled in domain computer.. you should check in domain computer group policies in

administration tool %26gt; policies

Display setting needs to set at every restart in window xp pro sp2?microsoft publisher internet explorer

Your problem exists that the administrators has pre-determined that users will only gain the 800x600 resolution. The users are configured as a manditory configuration which means the individual user cannot change their settings and everytime they log in they had a basic required setting. If you want the larger settings, ask the administrators to change your settings in the users group settings.
This may not be an issue with group policies as group policies generally create restrictions and allowances. If you are able to change your settings after logging in then I would suggest you talk to the administrator about updating your user profiles. Mandatory profiles are generally used to update display resolutions, printer settings, power options, task bar configurations, and other areas of configuration requirements. Just keep in mind that policies are restrictions while mandatory profiles are configurations.

Enabling PAE on Windos XP Home SP2?

Enabling PAE on Windos XP Home SP2?microsoft excel

I think you are looking in the wrong place for the answer PAE will not find the missing RAM. PAE (Physical Address Extension) is a feature provided on recent processors to allow the use of memory above 4Gb (the limit on 32bit system). As you do not exceed the standard 4Gb limit of a 32bit system PAE would be useless.

Windows SP2 installation frozen?

I just recently reformmated my laptop. (I have windows XP) I installed all drivers needed and also critical softwares on windows update. Everything was successful except I cannot install windows SP2. I downloaded it, but when I proceed to installation it would not get past "checking product key" section. It would just be frozen, and there is no error code. I have a genuine copy of windows XP so I don't understand why it won't work. I have tried more than 20 times and have also left my laptop running without any programs opened for several hours, but still it would not move past "checking product key" point. Do you know what is wrong and how I can fix it?

Is windows sp2 really needed cuz i reinstalled my xp copy with sp1 and my computer seems faster?

No it's not needed, but it does make certain aspects of your computer safer if you're not familiar with all the in's and out's.

Is windows sp2 really needed cuz i reinstalled my xp copy with sp1 and my computer seems faster?internet browser

Well, you're right, Windows XP SP2 does slow down, older... and... I do mean OLDER systems. That's not a problem for someone like me who is on top of the latest and greatest. But, I would suggest that everyone installs SP2. It's more of a memory problem than anything else. I'd say have no less than 256MB of memory if you want to have SP2, 512MB highly recommended, 1GB is even better... but why not have 2GB of PC3200 memory (which is what I have in my desktop).

It is absolutely necessary at this point in time if you are connecting that computer to the internet. The number of exploits that are available (and now fairly well documented) to even novice "hacks" makes it needed.

Windows SP2 installation?

Windows SP2 installation?windows mobile 6

You can obtain free Windows Update support, including SP2 installation issues, by contacting Microsoft support: http://support.microsoft.com/oas/default...

Also see: Windows XP Service Pack 2 problem Solver: http://winhlp.com/WxSP2.htm

This fix will probably work:

1) Please go into the CMD prompt (Start/Run --%26gt; cmd.exe )

2) Then type cd /d %windir%\inf and make sure we are in that directory.

3) Then type ren oem*.inf oem*.old, it will go back to the prompt after giving you some error (Do not worry about it)

4) Then type ren oem*.pnf oem*.old1, it will go back to the prompt after giving you some error (Do not worry about it)

5) Then goto start - run - type "%windir%\inf" and you will see the files in the folder.

6) Then find the file by name INFCACHE.1 and take a backup of it to desktop (by copying it to desktop) and delete the INFCACHE.1 from c:\windows\inf.

7) Close all windows and reboot the computer to safe mode and start the installation of SP2 and it should go fine.

Press alt-tab sometimes a window will get tucked behind another one.
I used to have the same problem on my earlier computer. Make sure you have SP1 installed first, that might fix it.
According to Microsoft (see article in link below), the license key you used to install XP is "known as an invalid product key."

I don't doubt that you have a genuine copy of windows XP. The article in the link below shows how you can verify whether your copy of XP is valid.

If the product key continues to give problems, contact the place that sold you the original XP product and license. Maybe they put a wrong sticker on the system.
It sounds like you may have a validation problem. Not accusing you of having bootleg software, :-), it is a known problem with the Windows Genuine Advantage Program. The best thing to do is contact Microsoft and give them your code key over the phone and they will tell you how to fix the problem. You might also look at the Genuine Advantage website for more information.
