kellys corner update

[Sammy Castagna]

I tried and tried to get windows to load. It craps out on sp1 and sp2 maybe
something was wrong at Microsoft download site. I just reloaded it about
5or6 weeks ago.

I finally loaded Linux ubuntu on the machine. I started with win 95 and
windows has been all I have ever known. What a shock this has been.
Different does not even come close to covering it

Hi Sammy,

Load XP back and order the SP2 update on disk and/or get someone else to
download it for you to a pen drive and/or burn it to a cd.

I keep the executable on a pen drive here for the same reason.

Kelly,
I can burn them to a cd. I know microsoft at one time would let you download
the sp1 I found a copy when I was going through all my cd's. I will do som
looking around on the microsoft site and google to see what I can find and
burn sp2. But I will want to have everything together when I start. I thank
you for all your support I know some of the questions people ask are
irritating to experts.

Jim If I order a copy of sp3 will that replace the need for sp1 and sp2? and
will that satisfy the computer? I have not read the entire site but some of
the links take you back to Microsoft. Or am I missing the point.

Sammy,
The way I understand it is Windows service packs include previous
service packs. So installing SP3 will also install those parts of SP1 &
SP2 that are not replaced by SP3 components.

That is not the case with Office service packs, you need to install them
in order.

Hi guys!

From my experience, having purchase an SP3 CD from Microsoft earlier
this year, that isn't correct.

Windows XP2 does, indeed, by-pass the need for SP1.

I had expected XP3 to do the same. This proved NOT to be the case. SP2
had to be installed *before* the application of SP3.

I'm sure the gurus will confirm!

Actually it is SP1 installed that is required to load SP3.
