windows xp and sp2

Jomo · 05-16-2008, 11:03 PM

Hi,
I recently changed my product key code for windows xp since i wanted to install sp2. My original code was illegal and I was unable to get sp2. Everything went well, at least I thought it did. I did in fact update my product key code and did install sp2. That was when my problems started. I can no longer open frontpage. I tried to delete frontpage to reinstall it but I wasn't able to delete it. I tried installing frontpage using the discs but I got an error regarding my installer not working.
I do want to say that the 1st thing I did after changing the key was to download sp2 so I can't say if the problem was there before downloading sp2.
Any ideas about how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jomo

Slipstream SP2 into a new install cd using a program called Autostreamer and then do a clean install of XP. Do a Google search for Autostreamer, its free. You will need a program to burn the iso image created by Autostreamer.

Also can use a program called Nlite, very easy to use.
