So i have windows xp sp1 and im trying to upgrade to sp2. the problem is everytime im halfway through the installation it stops goes to a blue screen with whtie writing and i can't read what it says because it goes by so fast. but it restores teh config and starts up again saying i need to uninstall the sp2 because it was not completed and is unstable. and then this site comes up.

but everything it tells me to do i try and it doesn't work. the only thing i haven't done is scan for viruses because none of them will install unless it's at least an sp2.

Jump to PostGo into control panel -> system
go into startup and recovery under Advanced, and make sure Automaticaly Restart is unchecked. Next time it bluescreens it should stay up, so you can write down the details for us.
Jump to PostThats wierd, because i didnt think you could install SP3 without SP2, because SP1 and XP RTM are no longer supported.
