View 3 Replies View RelatedInstall Service Pack 2 on my PC and in the middle of the installation my power went out and now when I try to reinstall Service Pack 2 it goes about half way through the installation and fails and I receive an error message saying Access is denied
After that, the PC goes through the steps of uninstalling Service Pack 2 and I get a message saying the system might not work, but it does. How do I install Service Pack 2?
I have searched this forum (and many others) for the answer to my problem but can't find one, just similar problems. I recently installed Service Pack 2 using a windows install cd (rather than just an upgrade patch). And now everytime i run windows i cannot open any folder or explorer window with out "explorer.exe" crashing. I have turned off DrWatson and now i just get a memory error everytime. I can not downgrade because i used a Windows Install CD (can't find an option anywhere to remove service pack 2 now). Please could someone help me because it is highly annoying.

View 6 Replies View RelatedOnce I installed sp3, I could not get past the windows loading screen, so I started in safemode and uninstalled sp3 that way. My question is, does uninstalling sp3 remove sp2 as well. I can not see sp2 under add/remove programs, but my windows update history says I downloaded sp2 last May.
View 15 Replies View RelatedEvery time I try to install SP2 either from microsoft's web site or from a copy of the actual file, i get an error message that reads "cannot read or write to the database" and the install stops. It will go through everything except installing the program (i.e. check my key, check the system, backup files etc). What would cause this and how might I fix it? I'm running XP Pro.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just formated my PC two nights ago and I am still trying to get all the updates done. However, when I try to update to Service Pack 3, I get an error halfway through that says "Acces Is Denied", and then it starts to undo everything the Service Pack was updating. I have tried downloading the service pack file from microsoft, rebooting and turning off all anti-virus. ect. I have seen methods that tell me to reset the registry and file permissions. Is this safe? And also, has anyone else had this problem and fixed it.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI normally remove the updates/SPs from my Windows folder after a few days of running with the SP installed. All those packs can take up a ton of space. I move them to a separate folder for safe keeping for about a week, then, if all is well, I delete them. I don't think I've deleted the IE7 SP, but I don't know what the SP number is.
