Guest Tony55 Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 I had trouble with my computer and overnight lost my virus protection and then was unable to open windows (XP Proffesional). I then reinstalled windows, and some error messages appeared about missing files, eventually I got windows to load somehow and now I cannot install sevice pack 2. I get an error message stating it is an extraction error, and says "The system cannot find the file specifed" Can somebody please help?
Guest MowGreen [MVP] Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Cannot install Service Pack 2 http://winhlp.com/WxSP2.htm#Cannot_install_Service_Pack_2 The above will inform you of where and what logs to check to see where the installation is failing. Suggest you also read this *very important* section, too : " Preparing for installation " http://winhlp.com/WxSP2.htm#Preparing_for_installation MowGreen [MVP 2003-2007] =============== *-343-* FDNY Never Forgotten =============== Tony55 wrote: > I had trouble with my computer and overnight lost my virus protection and > then was unable to open windows (XP Proffesional).
