[Guest]

Hi:

I purcashed windows XP upgrade version years ago, and I've since upgraded
to service pack 2. Now I'v somehow corrupted explorer and would like to
re-install XP, but my disk will no longer let me, it says tht the version
installed is a later version. What are my options?

thanks in advance

All you need to do is make a SP2 slipstreamed version of your
current Windows XP, then use the new CD to perform a
"Repair Install".

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)
