Hi Chris,
Thanks for update!
Based on the current situation, please help me know whether the exact error
message is "Service Pack setup has failed.Access is denied" or others when
you are installing the Service Pack 2. According to my research, it could
be caused by the incorrect registry permissions. I suggest you reset the
owner then reset the permissions on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Security. Then
please attempt to install SP2 again. If it still do not allow the changes.
Please help me know if there is any error message.
If there is anything that is unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Jason Tan

| The referenced article explains how to change permissions on a registry
key.
| I have tried this and XP will not allow the changes.
|
| Any other ideas?
