windows xp needs repair - software need repair

Donnie

That is NET Framework, not Windows XP SP2. The answer is here.

I'm guessing that you won't understand it. Will take a look at it when I get back.

Many thanks Donnie, I have started the down load and hopefully it will work when I instal it.

Hmmm...I'm not altogether sure that that you have followed the directions. But let's see what happens. We can always uninstall and begin again.

Got a download for this SP3 and this is the message it gave me. I do not know what it means, any ideas...

I suspect that the failed SP2 reinstall is hanging and that won't allow SP3 to install. You have posted the failed SP3 pic very soon after the failed SP2 attempt.

Try restarting your PC, and then run the SP3 install to see if that works.

Try running this tool PatchRegCleanup-x86.exe

If none of this works, it's time for a Factory Restore.

Many thanks for replies but it seems not to want to be repaired LOL.... Mary I down loaded the repair tool and ran it OK, I also downloaded the Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package (x86) and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (x86)

the first on installed OK but got a message with the second download saying with a error message I will put on here later for information.
