Service Pack 4 update

K

Kevin

I get this error message when updating, any solutions?

The core system file (kernel) used to start this computer
is not a Microsoft Windows file. The Service Pack will not
be installed. For more information, see Knowledge Base
article at http://support.microsoft.com.

Hello Kevin,

This behavior may occur if the computer has the /KERNEL switch enabled in
the Boot.ini file. This condition may exist
because your computer has a third-party program such as Resource Hacker,
BootXP or
Winblind.

1. Uninstall those programs if they are installed
2. Removed the /kernel switch in the Boot.ini
