Service Pack 2

[Guest]

Question 1:
I cannot install the service pack 2 on my computer...don't know why. Any
ideas?

Questions 2:
I want to install a Netgear wirelss adaptor, but it will not let me since I
do not have service pack 2 installed. I tried to unistall XP, but do not have
a production key. Is there a way to unistall XP without the key or to install
the wireless adaptor without unistalling XP?

Your help is appreciated!
Confused!

Not without some information from you as to the reasons why SP2 won't
install, such as error messages etc. that are produced when it fails.

This might be of some help:

If your hardware drivers require SP2 in order to install then you need
to get the SP2 problems resolved first.

Good luck

You can recover your key using the magical Jellybean key finder

If the adaptor requires XP then it requires XP no ifs or buts.

Are you trying to install over the net? If this is failing then download the
SP2 file direct from
