Guest Eskimo Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 When I download sp2 (my software is all valid, btw), my computer freezes. I restart and it goes through the regular startup screens (before windows starts) and then I get the blue screen of death. I can only restart my computer in safemode, uninstall sp2 and things are fine. (I would tell you exactly what it says, but I don't wanna go through all that again, thinking my computer is fried!!) I know I should contact the people in did up my computer, but I am wanting to hear from anyone who has had the same problem....... I am running WinXP 2002, Home Edition, Athlon 64 Processor, 2.01 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM. Thanks!!

Do you download a new copy of SP2 each time? The original might've been corrupted, so make sure you get a fresh copy. There are many discussions on the subject here: http://groups.google.com/groups/search?q=sp2+install+locks+up+xp&qt_s=Search -- Joe =o)
