Hi all!
I am hurtin' here. I have a PC that I got from a friend (the conversation
started you know about computers, right). He had installed SP2 a while back
and had problems so he "uninstalled" it. Now we cannot get updates.
So...
I check it out and sure enough he cannot get KB898641 to load. By the looks
of the Add/Remove programs, he has been loading SP2 hotfixes for some time.
I went out to technet to research what others had encountered and didn't find
much. I tried to install the patch in safe mode to no avail.
So...
I searched MS and found SP2 and downloaded it, twice. I tried to burn it to
CD and got a cyclic redundancy error. Then I tried to run it accross the LAN
and got the same error.
I am seeking a little sage advice. Reformatting and reinstalling is a last
resort.
