Service packs

[Sharon]

please please please help, I can't instal service pack 1
as it has been discontinued, although my comp is running
microsoft vm and microsofts website says to instal pack
1 ?
Does anyone know if it is safe for me to instal service
pack 1a instead? By the way I don't understand what
microsoft vm is so I cant work it out for myself.

Sorry if I've posted in the wrong section

thanks for any help

Well the only suggestion I can come up with at the moment I am typing this is for you to set up Remote Desktop Assistance with another XP user who has already downloaded SP1..

In this way, they could install it for you from their PC onto yours ( unless I am mistaken

"VM is valu microsoft.......it's the cheaper virsion of XP"
Where did you get that?
Not true at all.
VM = Virtual Machine as in Microsoft Virtual Machine.

SP1 or SP1a will work for you.
If an application says it needs SP1, either Sp1 or SP1a will work just
as well.

The only difference between the two is Microsoft Virtual Machine was
removed from SP1a to comply with court action:

Or, if you want to install SP1a and then reinstall JVm to run jave apps, here is the link for downloading JVM
