I can uninstall SP2 and boot back into SP1 successfully. However, this does
not solve the problem installing SP2. I upgraded the Media Player to version
10 as instructed by an article I found on the Microsoft website. This does
not help either. Would you happen to have some additional ideas?

Hi Germex - In addition to the resources TaurArian pointed you to, you might
also want to take a look at: Windows XP - Service Pack 2 (SP2) - FAQs &
Best Practices
http://forum.aumha.org/index.php?c=1...846d0d5186c 0
and specifically at: Installing SP2

http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php...846d0d5 186c0

One very common problem that has shown up on SP2 install issues has been the
presence of malware. If you think this might be an issue, you may also want
to take a look at my Blog, Defending Your Machine, addy below in my
Signature for some assistance.
