[Guest]

when my automatic update trys to install sp2 it just freezes not giving

i have read on another forum of a
guy
who had the same problem as me and he recieved a solution from
microsoft__>
Hi Matt,

There are 3 steps which we have to do to get the SP2 installed.


Steps are:


1) Please go into the CMD prompt (Start/Run --> 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.

While working through these instructions i did not get any error as stated
in step 3 +4. ive re-installed windows twice and had different av but
still
the same problem. im at my wits end, any advice would be much appreciated


If you are running Media Center Edition and it is the 2005 version, you

already have SP2 installed and trying to reinstall will cause problems. If
you are not running MCE, you might want to also post this in a general XP
forum, rather than this one, which is for MCE.
