Is there a reason you're not telling us what happens when you try to install
it or is it a secret? Any error messages? How are you trying to do so -
windows update? the downloaded network installation file? SP2 CD? For the
SP2 upgrade to be successful the underlying system has to be running well
with no problems, and free of malware.

will attempt to install svc pk 2 again and make note of the error #...the
laptop was not being used for 2 years...that's the reason for the lack of
updates...thanks for your help

I wasn't asking about the "girl" thing. That was someone else. This is an
Usenet newsgroup, not a forum or chat room, so please keep replies in the
same thread and reply to the appropriate parties.

Ahh ok, the picture becomes clearer. Another option you have, if installing
SP2 as and update won't work is to create a slipstreamed XP installation CD
which has SP2 added to it. Then do a clean install with this CD so SP2 is
already there. If you need info on how to do this let me know.

Since this is a laptop drivers are an issue. Make sure you check with the
laptop manufacturer's tech support site for drivers for the laptop that are
SP2 compatible. One of the links I gave you previously talks about this.

What's "I'm a girl" got to do with anything ? Some of the finest
minds in IT are female. Admittedly they're vastly outnumbered by
males but, that's a different argument !

There are those of us from more civilized climes (i.e., south of
Mason-Dixon) who respond with a different regard to a damsel in distress
than we do to mouth-breathers.

Fortunately, the recent unplesantness, sometimes called Our Second War of
Independence, did not eradicate that quality. Our ladies know they deserve,
and get, extra attention because of their sex.
 
I think I agree with you, ....but, then again, I'm not completely sure !

"Our ladies know they deserve, and get, extra attention because of their
sex. "
Agreed, women's cunning etc. AND it's worse than that now, here in
the UK, mainly because women, in the past, kicked up a stink for
equal-rights | mortgages got based on two incomes rather than one male
income | now hubby and wife are working almost every hour God sends to
maintain that mortgage, or rent ....and eat ...and survive | ...hence the
kids are often left home alone, or to run amok in the streets.

NOW, before the 'goody two shoes,' self-righteous, middle class -
professional hubby's and wives who are doing a good job of raising their
children, pipe up - you're probably among those families fortunate enough,
to be earning enough, to find and spend some "quality" time with your
progeny. Many try but, often due to lack of parenting skills and/or lack of
TIME due to financial pressures in simply maintaining the home and family,
often MISERABLY FAIL. Just look at the little hellers running wild on some
of the larger, and poorer, housing estates across the UK, breaking into
houses and stealing cars, and the Police "car-chases" EVERY night !

I often thank God that I never fathered any children but, I do see what's
going on all around the country.

AND women still expect doors to be opened for them, and give up that parking
space etc., and of course they never fart in a lift !
And there's the and PMT and PMS where some severely affected women become
the most nasty, cunning and vicious liars' from hell. (my sister in-law is
one of them !) This type of female on "nasty-hormone-overdrive" is capable
of viciousness that far exceeds anything a male could achieve. I've had
first hand experience of it. Years ago, (possibly due to some sort of
offence caused by my side of the family - we've often tried to guess, across
the years, what it could have been), when my sister in-law 'phoned an old
employer of mine, and told him up a massive pack of lies - (and she even had
the "brass cheek" to call in at my place of work several days after telling
the lies), I was able to give her a BIG smile and point upwards at the
LOVELY, LOVLEY, LOVELY video surveillance camera which surveyed my entire
work area - (where I'd allegedly verbally abused her | in front of her
department manager who | ...and she felt she had to go to him and apologise
....the lies and inventions went on and on.) Well, I never saw the b***h
again after that ! I haven't really missed her !

"...mouth-breather" ? ...I've never "woman mouth-breathed" in my life - the
cost could be too great ! e.g. an estimated minimum £300,000 to raise a
child to the age of 16, FAAAAAAAR too expensive !

And as for the s****l side of things YuuUUUK ! I saw that once on a video
in 1974, horrible ...frightening, and they obviously weren't enjoying it
because of all the groaning and moaning noises they were making !

regards, Richard
