Hi all
I'm trying to install SP2 on my girlfriend's Packard Bell PC. I
re-installed XP using the packard bell CDs (basically an image) but SP2
refuses to install. It downloads and appears to install, but once Update is
finished, it just says close and doesn't ask for the computer to be
restarted. Once I restart manually, there is no sign of SP2 and it is again
listed in Update as something that needs to be installed.
There are one or two other issues aswell - the Automatic Updates service
switches itself off after every boot, despite me having tried the MS article
to reinstate the permissions for it.
Also, the Applications log is permanently corrupted. I'm not sure what
that's about either.
Can anyone help? THis is really frustrating as I've just upgraded to Win XP
Pro on my own machine and have had no problems whatsoever with XP and other
updates.
Thanks in advance!
