Please help me!
I recently downloaded windows xp service pack 2 and now i cant download anything. It get to the box where it has the percentage of how much it has downloaded but after that i get a pop up that says "pathway not specified" or "7zip miconfig" or unable to install""
Its driving me mad! Can someone please help me. I dont know if its to do with the sp2 or a virus or something, as i know nothing about computers really.
I could not download the XP2 Service Pak and have it work either. I had to get the disc from Microsoft and use it from the disc. There is virtually no other way to do this. Either go on the site or call them up for the disc. It's your only hope to fix this mess.
after uninstall, see if you can download sp2 from another source other than using windodws update and try installing that way and then see if this would make a difference http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html
I have tried doing the above now i cant even log onto my computer i keep getting the message "fatal system error c000021a windows logon process system process terminated unexpectdly"
what you would have to do at this point would be a repair installation
Repair Installation
A Repair Install will replace the system files with the files on the XP CD used for the Repair Install. "It will leave your applications and settings intact", but Windows updates will need to be reapplied.
A Repair Install will replace files altered by adware and malware, but will not fix an adware, malware problem. Perform a Repair Installation
The installation disk should have come with your computer. You're supposed to keep those things. If you don't have it, depending on where you bought it from and what kind of computer it is, etc., you might be able to get a new disk from them. Assuming you bought it with Windows installed all legal-like and everything. Where did you get your computer?
Just as a note, just because you can't download something from your computer doesn't mean you can't download it. Download it from someone else's computer, school, library, wherever. Also, I have SP2 on a CD. You can save it to CD and not have to keep downloading any time Windows needs reinstalled.
And people are helping you as best as they can. Desparation doesn't make it go any faster.
