XP SP1 installation

I'm having problems installing SP. Seems for W2K SP4 you
must have SP 1,2 or 3 installed first installing SP4 by
itself doesn't work. So now with XP I can't get SP1
installed.

Is there something I need to do first. I never had this
problem before. Seems like everytime I install the SP my
machine freezes during the start up screen and not able
to use mouse of keyboard.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kevin,

I had a similar problem after installing XP on my Gateway
computer. I was told to switch the ports to which I plug
in my mouse and my keyboard. I have no idea why, but it
worked!! Don't know if it will work for you, but it's
easy enough to try.

Karen;
That is a possibility, but it is also a possibility that simply
reseating them is all that was needed.
