This is sort of an extension of my previous post, although unrelated sort of.
I tried to upgrade to XP Pro-it didn't take so I ended up throwing XP Home
back on for the second time.
After hours of Microsoft updating and restarts, I finally tried the Sp2
update. Upon reboot, it went to some screen which I forget what it stated at
the moment, but I ended up having to do a system restore and basically
uninstall SP2. The only thing is that it really didn't take it off and a
screen popped up telling me to remove through the add/remove programs screen.
I did this and then my mouse didn't work for some reason. Since I only had XP
home on at the time I just reinstalled XP Home and did the five million
updates again. All except the SP2--which I need for my Ipod Nano software.
This happened to me a few months ago when I first tried upgrading to XP
Pro--at that time the disc was damaged and couldn't copy files. It took this
long to get my replacement Pro cd--which still doesn't work for me...see
other post..
At that time I had problems getting SP2 to work so I left it off. I had the
Ipod software installed but computer wouldn't recognize ipod--all I could do
was charge it, no changing of songs or anything. One day when I hooked up
Ipod for charging, I noticed that it showed up in the Itunes program. I then
went and installed Sp2 again, and this time it worked.
I must be missing something in order for it to work, but I have installed
every other update from Microsoft update. I do not know why it worked after
so much time or what I was doing just prior to SP2 and the Ipod software
finally working.
If anyone else has run across this problem, please let me know.
Thanks
