SP2

[Guest]

When I attempt to download IE 7 I discovered that sp2 via the windows update
had been canceled during the windows updates down loads. How do you advise?

Also the last windows update I attempted to do on my WinXP computer crashed
out the system and I had to perform a complete format, because each time I
would reboot it would go through a continued reboot once it reach the Windwos
logo screen. Could there had been a fix for this infinite loop, so that I
would not have to reformat the harddrive

Thanks,

Ken

To find if I can avoid formating my PC :S

You need to clarify what you mean here. What is the connection between SP2
and IE7? What was cancelled?

Also the last windows update I attempted to do on my WinXP computer
crashed
out the system and I had to perform a complete format, because each time I
would reboot it would go through a continued reboot once it reach the
Windwos

There might be a way to fix it. It depends on the specifics of the
situation. As one example did you try a repair install rather than a clean
install? A repair install will keep installed programs and settings.

Next time you run into a problem like this post a question here.

There is some good insurance you can set up to be able to quickly recover to
a working state. Get a drive imaging program such as Acronis True Image.
Use it to save a compressed image of the drive to external media such as a
USB connected external hard drive. Then if disaster strikes restore the
image which is a quick process. Image daily or on a schedule that matches
how much change your system experiences on a regular basis, so you're never
without a current backup.
