SP2 problem not mentioned before

When attempting to update Adobe, AVG etc, the process requests I download
SP2. When on the MS page for d/l of SP2 it states “Your computer has
already been upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). For tips or help
using it, see the SP2 support and how-tos.†I’m no technical bod but can
follow instructions and am now at a real loss what to do. My review of auto
update on 24th Dec 2007 shows SP2 download cancelled (not by me!). All d/ls
thereafter have failed. Has anybody any solutions/ideas?
Thanks
 
Thanks pcbutts1, but the problem remains. I used; Remove it, FixIE, Winsock
repair and Svchosts Fix. It asked me to reinstall windows so I did using my
original XP disk.

When Windows desktop is loading this message still comes up 'htpatch.exe -
Unable to Locate Component' 'The application has failed to start because
WINIO.dll was not found. Re-installing the appication may fix this problem.'


Is this of any importance?

I will just keep trying various things until something happens!
Cheers

Htpatch.exe is a component for SiS AGP patch, which is only useful when the
processor supports Hyper Threading you can probably fix that by replacing
the winio.dll file. You can get it here
http://www.econsultant.com/dll-database-w/winio.dll-download.html none of my
programs will require you to re-install Windows so explain what you meant
about "it asked me to reinstall windows"

So this is getting at you. Right? Now he knows your weak point and he can
continue posting your name in every message he posts here!

Why don't you sort your differences privately. The guy has got his
details online so it should be easy to contact him directly instead of
messing around here!!

I think "Leythos" lives for the chance to post to the buffoon... and
in doing so, he includes himself in that category.
