I am trying to install Service Pack4 and I get an error message stating that arcsetup.exe is being used by another resource to close all applications and try installation again. I have windows 2000 professional. I need sp4 to install apple iPod software on computer. Any ideas other that buying another computer?

Thanks

Try doing a Ctl-Alt-Del to see if it is a current running process, if so then end the process.

If it does not show up there you can try the following. Download and install Spybot. Open Spybot, then click on Mode in the top menu bar and select Advanced Mode. In the manu bar on the left selct Tools then System Startup. Uncheck anything that you don't recognise or don't require to start when Windows boots up. Close Spybot and reboot the system. Try your Windows Update then.
