Have a look in the System Log (Start--> Run--> EVENTVWR.MSC) for NTServicePack type events (you'll also see the dates hotfixes/security updates) etc in there -- Colin Nash Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User

Re: How can I tell when XP SP2 was installed
Thanks Colin -- Thought of that -- unfortunately the event logs don't go back
far enough -- was hoping there would be something like a logfile or some specific file dates someplace -- "Colin Nash [MVP]" wrote: > > "Chappy" <Chappy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:1F87E49D-377F-49FC-8F0D-44D325E26736@microsoft.com... > > Thanks Dave -- but I need to be able to determine the date that the > > ugrade/install took place ?? > > Have a look in the System Log (Start--> Run--> EVENTVWR.MSC) for > NTServicePack type events (you'll also see the dates hotfixes/security > updates) etc in there > > > -- > Colin Nash > Microsoft MVP > Windows Shell/User > > >

Re: How can I tell when XP SP2 was installed
If you haven't removed it right click on the this folder:
C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$ Select Properties. The created date will correspond to the date you installed SP2. Also, you can download Belarc advisor, run it and it will list the intallation date for SP2 and all subsequent updates: Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html Nepatsfan Chappy wrote: > Thanks Colin -- Thought of that -- unfortunately the event > logs don't go back far enough -- was hoping there would be > something like a logfile or some specific file dates > someplace -- > > "Colin Nash [MVP]" wrote: > >> >> "Chappy" <Chappy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:1F87E49D-377F-49FC-8F0D-44D325E26736@microsoft.com... >>> Thanks Dave -- but I need to be able to determine the date >>> that the ugrade/install took place ?? >> >> Have a look in the System Log (Start--> Run--> >> EVENTVWR.MSC) for NTServicePack type events (you'll also >> see the dates hotfixes/security updates) etc in there >> >> >> -- >> Colin Nash >> Microsoft MVP >> Windows Shell/User

Re: How can I tell when XP SP2 was installed
Open Explorer.
Look for the earliest date shown. That should be the date that Windows was installed. -- Just my 2¢ worth, Jeff __________in response to__________ "Chappy" <Chappy@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:7B72080B-A1AF-4E5E-A5C9-A4D6F5A9CFBB@microsoft.com... | Thanks Colin -- Thought of that -- unfortunately the event logs don't go back | far enough -- was hoping there would be something like a logfile or some | specific file dates someplace --
