    Hi i just formatted this computer complete format, then i got the driver's and installed network cards, started to do updates to windows, now I can't. The Service Pack 2 is always corrupted, i have NO idea why this is occuring, it also says that i can not use my current browser to get the auto update as i need inet 5 or higher, but you need service pack 2 for that. so i am lost. 100% lost.

    If you already own a legal copy of XP then you can just download a torrent with SP2 already on it. It should not be illegal because you already own it.

    I find that the customized XPs always work better than the retail versions.
