Guest Ted Smith Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 I bought my copy of XP Pro OEM before SP1 and SP2. As they came along I installed them on top of my old version. Now I have a few programs (one is OE 6) that have been corrupted but still work after a fashion. I would like to do a repair install but my install disc tells me that it can't do it because my Win XP has been modified or upgraded or something like that. But, I have a brand new unopened copy of XP-SP2 OEM that I plan to use to build another system. Can I use that copy to repair the programs on my current system?? If that is possible, would the repair do anything goofy like implant its ID or serial number on top of my current install. Would it do anything at all that would compromise my ability to use my new copy of XP-SP2 OEM to build a new system? Ted Smith
