I am attempting a re-install of XP on a Dell desktop. I am attempting to
downlaod SP2 from the Microsoft update site, however, the system hangs. This
appears to be duye to svchost.exe hogging system resources.

On exploring the KB I have discovered that Hotfix 927891 should solve my
problem - however, it requires that SP2 is installed. The previous version
of this hotfix (916089) is no longer available.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Jon

If you can wait, Microsoft will send you a SP2 disk. I think it is free.
