distributable SP2 won't install

[LuDean Marvin]

I downloaded the 266mb behemoth version of SP2, and this is what I get when
I try to install it... up pops a DOS window titled:
"[Inactive???????FP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.ex]". Inside the box is the following
statement... "Program too big to fit in memory".

I have 512mb memory and have closed all extraneous programs before running.
Any ideas what is going on here?

How are you trying to install SP-2?
Simply double-clicking it should start the process unless the download
was corrupted.
Try downloading it again.

One tiny spider crawling around on your motherboard can cross two bytes,
thus pharking the entire file.

That indicates a corrupt downloaded file. Try downloading again.
