1.	Solve : problems withattempt to load SP2 for XP?
Answer» I have just rebuilt my XP and reloaded most of my SOFTWARE. When i try to load the XP service pack from a disk, after it extracts the files i get a messagesaying that there is no need to update, or words to that effect?? my SP2 disk and messages are in german, so i don't recall the exact translation. anyone seen this occur, and how can i get SP2 onto the censored MACHINE without first going online, which always puts me in the catch 22 situation of getting hit by a Trojan-downloader program upon initial CONNECTION without SP2 running? helpInstall a software firewall before connecting to the Internet. Then download Service Pack 2. Set the software firewall to block all incoming traffic but what WINDOWS Update needs.Zaq: Or, you may order SP2 absolutely free and receive the CD in the mail in 4-6 weeks, no matter where you live in the world. The CD also has the latest SPs for Windows 98, 98SE, 2000, and ME.
