I've tried all the recommended work-arounds from Microsoft and no luck. Can I safely remove/delete the donwloaded updates?

 

When I try to reinstall,

Logged in as Admin, all security programs shutdown but no go.
Is the 60 MB the correct size? I didn't get the Update notice in the taskbar (I'm set at Automatic Updates).

 

Quick note:

When I first tried the download and install I didn't have security progs off/disabled. Spyware Terminator "asked" to allow the update and I quickly clicked the "Install Mode" to allow any other permissions.

 

I have the full version of SP2 and its over 320mb in size, what you are downloading is probably a web update. Thats a smaller preinstall file that needs to connect and download the rest to install properly. Given the fact that you only have 60mb of it you would be looking at a 270mb download during installation.

If I were you I would look at downloading the entire thing at once and installing that way. Do a google search for "WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe" or go to this page:

Code:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en

it should allow you to download the whole thing.

 

I'm trying install to SP 3.

 

Yes,60 mb is good ,cos you allready install most of updates via microsoft update.

 

My Bad! SP3 same thing, download this:

Its says its for IT Pros but it doesn't matter, I use these all the time. This way you can run it from offline but let it connect to the net if it wants. And if you reinstall later you will have the whole thing ready to go next time instead of going thru all this bru ha ha again.

Nope, didn't work. Access denied.

 

Too many people are having problems with SP3

Yeah, it's a real shame. I think may just hold off for awhile until not having becomes a problem. I want to thank everyone here for all their time and help, I really appreciate it.

(The thumbs up is for all the help received)

 

LauraR,

I've tried eveything except sell my soul, can't get it to work.

 

LauraR,

Yeah, hope MS figures out about the stuff that were downloaded in my system.
Thanks for your help.
