Hi,

I cannot get SP2 to install. I have tried several times and each time it freezes at the Windows XP splash screen after a restart and I have to do a system repair. I have searched the Foxconn (mainboard) website and the only FAQ was to manually flash the BIOS which didn't help. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? My specs:

Pentium 4 2.4 GHz CPU
1.0 GB PC2700 RAM
Foxconn 655A01-FX-6ELRS mainboard
LG DVD-ROM
Phillips 8X Dual DVD Burner
2 - 80GB IDE HDD

I have XP Pro corporate w/SP1 installed. Any help is greatly appreciated....

Microsoft issues warning on Spyware:

The basics of the article is to detect and remove Spyware
from your computer before installing SP2.
...Spyware could cause computers
to freeze up upon installation of the update...

Maybe check for, and remove SpyWare.
Here
you will find links for detection and removal software.

Here is another that is at most computer stores,
including Office Depot, Office Max:
Spyware X-terminator

Also, be sure to update any software online
after installation, and every 1-2 weeks.
