installing SP-2

B

Briamor

Hello:

I'd like to update some of my applications, and they won't update, unless I
have Windows XP SP-2 installed.
BUT!...

Everytime I try to install it, It'll start installing "Service Pack 2", then
after about 4 mins, a sign saying "Access Denied" pops up, and then it
proceeds to uninstall what it had just installed.

I'm kinda "stuck" because I'd like some updated versions of my IE, Windows
Media Player, and some newer antivirus updates, but none of them will
install without SP-2,
That goes for SP-3 also, even that won't install unless it sees that I have
had SP-2 previously installed. I currently have SP-1.

What can I do to get SP-2 to install,

and...

Re-installing my OS is out of the question, I'd loose to much if I did that.


Thanks Again
