SP2 Won't Work

[Guest]

So

I downloaded and ran the Windows XP SP2 from the micorsoft website many
times now. After the install, the computer restarts, but during the start up
a get a blue screen flashed at me then it restarts itself again and the only
way to get my computer back to normal is to run it in safe mode and do a
system restore. SP2 used to work fine now it doesn't. I have a Dell Dimension
4400, P4 with windows XP home. I have upgraded hardware and SP2 still worked.
Then it just gave up! I have tried upgrading drivers for all the new hardware
thousands of times! Any suggestions?!?! Please help!!

Have you made sure there are no viruses, spyware and other malware?
Follow the Service Pack Installation Checklist to help be sure the computer
is ready for SP-2:

Yes

I checked that many times. I formatted my computer once and used the free
upgrade disc before connecting it to the internet. This was one of my major
issues. Nothing works.

Did you do a clean install of your OS to necessitate this upgrade now?
If so why not just use auto-update and let windows do the rest.

What version of OS are you using - XP SP0, or XP SP1? Is it a
professional version or Home edition?

Yes

It was a clean install, I've tried it while running from SP0 and SP1. Also,
Auto update does the same thing as a manual update.

Please keep sending suggestions, something has to work.

Did you disable your anti virus before installing?
