CornerCarver Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 I am trying to install some new software. It says I need Windows XP service pack 2 to install. Anyone know anything about this? Or even how much it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornerCarver Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 ah, finally got it to work. Thanks Anthony! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornerCarver Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 man I can't get that site to work and I need service pack 2 also (among other updates). The page always comes up with an error. This connection here is like 1 step better than having nothing at all. I had to turn off all spyware, anti virus and securities to get it to work. With good connection still took an hour. I also had to update everything else before it would let me install service pack 2. Hope this helps.

Boost-n-Juice Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 whenever I try to get the service pack or other updates it tells me my product key is not authentic or whatever. Any way around that crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any way around that crap? Buy a windows license, ebay search OEM licensing... Disable the WGA and WPA internet/registry services. http://www.columbusracing.com/showthread.php?t=17740&referrerid=2235 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
