I noticed I hadn't installed SP2 for Windows XP yet, so, I booted up my Automatic Updates, and it said "Downloading Service Pack 2.... FAILED"
I have no idea what's wrong, none of my other updates have failed.
I have ran spyware and antivirus removal programs, and they come back clean.
Has anyone had problems like this!?

Go to Microsofts website and download it.
|
I did, but everytime I do that, it pops open Automatic Update, and fails again.
For some reason, it doesn't appear on my "Automatic Updates".... | |
When I downloaded it manually, and booted it up.
Got this error: The core system file (kernel) used to start this computer is not a Microsoft Windows File. This service pack will not be installed. I have the current things that could interfere: * GRUB installed. * Changed my Boot Screen. How would I get SP2 to work with GRUB? I really don't want to uninstall GRUB. Or is it my bootscreen that's causing it to freak out? | |
Normally Windows will just go ahead and overwrite the boot loader when it installs, so unless the service pack does extra checking I don't think that would be the problem.
The custom boot screen is probably the source of the problem. Try one of these links: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=327101 http://board.iexbeta.com/lofiversion/index.php/t45241.html | |
