Postby Auger » Thu Sep 09, 2004 12:04 am

I just did a major upgrade on my computer and went from 98 to xp. I can download but not install any thing. I'm not a guru and I'm lost in the ozone but knowing just enough to know something is wrong. Any ideas as to what I may doing wrong? I've tryed to follow all insturctions. What am I missing?

Do you get any specific error messages?
Also have you added the SP packs?

Probably a stupid question, but do you have Administrator Access Rights on your Username?

Hey Auger,

Administrator Access Rights are required in order to install anything on XP. I think your best bet would be to take the computer back to the person/company that did the upgrade so that they can sort it out for you. Doing so by yourself may void any warranties or guarantees that you have with that person/company.

What is an sp pack?


I think what Ozzy means is Service Pack.  They're upgrades to the Operating System. At present there are two Service Packs available for XP, namely, SP1 and SP2. SP2 was released a few weeks ago. If you right click on the My Computer icon and go into Properties, it should tell you if you have any SP's installed.

Thank you gentlemen I will look into this first thing in the morning. The folks that did the upgrade for me will know, they do good work and back it up.  Thank you,   Auger
