SP2 W/O SP1

[Lisa]

I could not use sp1 because of USB driver compatability. My PC has no
serial or paralel ports and both mouse and keyboard are on usb. When sp1 was
installed I would loose all PC interface. My question is: Can SP2 be
installed W/O SP1?

Yup. Service Pack 2 contains all the updates within Service Pack 1.

Sure,actually its a preffered installation rather than upgradeing from SP1.

Hi,

The Service Packs are cumulative, therefore if the system reacts badly to
SP1, it will likely react badly to SP2.
