- SP2 problem not mentioned before
- Posted by Sclo3 on May 24th, 2008
When attempting to update Adobe, AVG etc, the process requests I download
SP2. When on the MS page for d/l of SP2 it states “Your computer has
already been upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). For tips or help
using it, see the SP2 support and how-tos.” I’m no technical bod but can
follow instructions and am now at a real loss what to do. My review of auto
update on 24th Dec 2007 shows SP2 download cancelled (not by me!). All d/ls
thereafter have failed. Has anybody any solutions/ideas?
Thanks

Run my free Svchosts Fix then visit the windows update page again. Download
it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

Thanks pcbutts1, but the problem remains. I used; Remove it, FixIE, Winsock
repair and Svchosts Fix. It asked me to reinstall windows so I did using my
original XP disk.
When Windows desktop is loading this message still comes up 'htpatch.exe -
Unable to Locate Component' 'The application has failed to start because
WINIO.dll was not found. Re-installing the appication may fix this problem.'
Is this of any importance?
I will just keep trying various things until something happens!
Cheers

Htpatch.exe is a component for SiS AGP patch, which is only useful when the
processor supports Hyper Threading you can probably fix that by replacing
the winio.dll file. You can get it here
http://www.econsultant.com/dll-datab...-download.html none of my
programs will require you to re-install Windows so explain what you meant
about "it asked me to reinstall windows"

USENET, if you don't want to see me reply then stop posting my name in
your posts - it's that simple. Take my name out of your posts and I'll
stop replying to them. It's your choice, keep harassing me in every post
and I'll keep replying to defend my name.

Why don't you sort your differences privately. The guy has got his
details online so it should be easy to contact him directly instead of
messing around here!!
