I got a brand new hard drive today so I was going from a FRESH install of XP Pro...nothing there but Windows XP Pro, and I had to install my keyboard. but that was the ONLY item I installed before installing the SP's and critical updates, cause I had burned them to cd.
Tried TWICE to install SP2 and crashed halfway thru. Had to uninstall it. Now this was with NOTHING on here but Windows XP Pro and my danged keyboard! And SP1a. And the other Critical Updates. Nothing ELSE! NOTHING. I did NOT have ANY other software INSTALLED so how in the blazes could it conflict with anything?
I gave up and will NOT install it until later. It may be here to stay but NOT at MY house or on my computer until much later. As far as I'm concerned SP2 IS A VIRUS! Liz
