XP Service Pack 1 Installation.

[Capricorn]

After about 10 hours I have managed to download Service Pack 1 using my 56k modem. It appears to have installed OK and shows:- Build 2600 - XPSP1 020828-1920 (Service Pack 1) on my desktop. Can anyone please confirm for me that this is the final version? Also any advice, if needed, on set up?

 

[Mr. Ass]

the service pack should be build 1106.. Otherwise its an earlier release

I have downloaded it to but I haven't got a water mark on my desktop. If i go to Explorer\Help\About Windows it shows me the following : Build 2600.xpsp1.020828-1920: Service Pak1. So I guess that your version is the final one, but i don't know ehat it's showing you on your desktop.

It should be right. To confirm the version you can go to: C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 ,rightclick a file like explorer.exe, choose properties, go to the version tab - the version number should be: 6.0.2800.1106

 

[artistul]

yoyo is right. explorer.exe should be 6.00.2800.1106

Capricorn ... your version of SP1 is final.
As for the watermark, I wouldn't worry about it. I added it intentionally using TweakUI and it does show the same numbers as you have.

I wish I was able to get that far....When I try to install SP1 ....it says ....

SERVICE PACK 1 Setup error
Service Pack 1 setup Canceled.

Any idea what Im doing wrong?

well one of the things could be ur cd-key is on M$ blacklist which means u can't upgrade to the Service Pack that seems to be the most logical based on what little info I've got to work with in ur case PUDBUDZ. I also might be careful on this subject since if my guess is right this ain't the place to talk bout that

 

[PUDBUDZ]

I hope its not on the blacklist!....being im one of the fools that spent $300 on it!

 

[chastity]

Ok if u bought it u shouldn't be on the blacklist. Also it makes it a little easier to answer since u have a legal copy. Can u post the actual error message u get when u try to install the Service Pack or SP for short.

 

[PUDBUDZ]

I turned off some of my services that i didnt think were needed....Is there any Services that must be Started to do the update that you know of?

 

[PUDBUDZ]

The error message Says:

SERVICE PACK 1 Setup error
Service Pack 1 setup Canceled.

Then the messages closes b4 i can even capture it!

 

[chastity]

As far as the services go I can't think of any that the SP would need. Um as far as the error goes I've got no idea generally if u get an error it would provide some more info then what u r getting.

 

[PUDBUDZ]

CRAPOLA....Thanks for the input anyway....i'll just keep plugging away at it!

Did you use the program XP-Antispy? If so this may be the cause and you will have to reregister the files licdll.dll and regwizc.dll.

 

[chastity]

Sorry. Good Luck. But keep checking around here and somebody might be able to be of more help then me
