Installing SP-2

[Briamor]

I'm kinda "stuck" because I'd like some updated versions of my IE, Windows
Media Player, and some newer antivirus updates, but none of them will
install without SP-2,
That goes for SP-3 also, even that won't install unless it sees that I have
had SP-2 previously installed. I currently have SP-1.

What can I do to get SP-2 to install,

and...

Re-installing my OS is out of the question, I'd loose to much if I did that.


Thanks Again

P.S. I have asked this question before, about 3-4 weeks ago, and today I
logged on to see if there were any new answers, and I can't find any of my
past posts.
How long do they last, and why can't I find ones from just a few weeks ago,
that were answered,
(Yes I used "find" and put in the dates "before and after") but still
nothing with my name appeared?

Hi Briamor,
This newsgroup is meant for questions about the Visual C++ debugger. It sounds like your
question relates to applying a service pack to your operating system. However, you didn't really
state for which product you are wanting to install SP2. The only Microsoft product I know of that
affects all those other installations and also has an SP3 is Windows XP. So, I'll take a guess that
this page might be a good starting point for you:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) Solution Center:
