Service pack 2 error 8007F0F4

[John]

I started download of XP service pack 2 and I oked the
install the service pack 2. The install failed with the
Error Code: 8007F0F4. Since the installation failure, I
do not get the XP service pack 2 download icon anymore.
When I click on window update, it displays a message
saying that the service pack will be downloaded
automatically. Any idea how I can restart the download
and install of the service pack 2 and why xp service
pack2 failed in the first place? Thanks for any
suggestion.

Have you done major cleaning before trying to install.

Download and Run a free virus scanner to double check your current one.

You might try to download & save to a folder then disconnect from the
internet and disable your virus & firewall
protection then install from the folder.

You can download SP2 from here it will be a large file if you do not have a
broadband connection I would not suggest downloading from here.
