Unsuccessful Updates

J

John King

Having had major problems I decided to re-install Windows XP. This required
uninstalling Service Pack 2 first.
I have re-installed XP OK and now I am checking Microsoft Updates prior to
re-installing SP2.
I have successfully installed about 40 Security Updates but receive the
following for two of them:-
"Files that are required for Windows to run properly have been replaced by
unrecognised versions. To maintain system stability Windows must restore
original versions of these files.
The network location from which the files should be copied
C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386/controls.man is not available.
Contact your systems administrator (me!) or insert Windows XP KB900725
(KB908531) Source Files now."
Could somebody please tell me where I can find these source files and where
I need to insert them!!!
Your help will be appreciated.

SP2 contains everything that is in SP1, including all of the hot
fixes, so you do not need to go this.

Install SP2 and THEN let it auto-download the rest of the hot
fixes.
On the MS site, read the information given: it's all explained
there, including what to do to prepare your machine before you
start.
