Please help us to help you. "is says something is in use of system wink32"

means absolutely NOTHING to anybody reading your post.

Please post the EXACT error message IN FULL.

 

Thank you.

If something is in use when you try to install SP2 maybe reboot and try

again.

 

If that doesn't help go into Safe Mode and try to install SP2 again.

 

Finally if still no joy, then yes post the error message exactly. A quick

way to do that when the message box comes up with the error, is make sure

the messagebox has focus then hit control c. Then start your reply and with

the cursor in the body of the message, hit control v.

It is a good idea when installing the SP2 to shut all scanning services including Anti Virus and Spam and etc, when installing.

Is it ok to leave the 'scanners' running while updates are downloading,

and then close out WinUpdate, unplug Internet connection, stop scanners now,

and resume the WinUp to install them? Just trying to protect comp. while

downloads are slowly coming 'down'. s

Yes, leave on whilst downloading. When you are installing then disconnect etc as

recommended by Peter.

2000, or Windows XP
