MilesOhToole:
Hey fellas,

I received my new computer (ref to this thread) and have XP Pro installed.

After OS installation, I did a Windows update and got all critical updates.  For some reason, SP2 didn't display as a critical update.  So, I searched microsoft for SP2 and downloaded it.

When it gets to the point of installing the update, I get an installation error: "C:/windows/system32/ftp.exe is open or in use by another application."

Should I reinstall XP and go for the SP2 update immediately before any other critical updates?  Do I need SP1 before SP2?

Thanks again for your help in the previous thread, guys.

Josh:
Are you sure SP2 didnt come installed on your computer? Almost every new computer I've seen comes with SP2 pre-installed.

MilesOhToole:
I don't think so...hmm...

When I go to My Computer and then Help and About Windows, it's showing Version 5.1 Build 2600.  If SP2 was installed would it show it there?

Josh:
Can you give me a print screen of that about screen?

MilesOhToole:
Sure.  Here ya go:
