SP2 finally came up on m automatic updates today... so I started to download and install it onto my laptop (what I'm on now) and the family computer. Fam comp finished first, and everything worked out fine for that. Once I finished installing it onto my laptop, however... once it restarted, the comp wouldn't go to the desktop (it would stay on one of the loading screens) It didn't freeze, because I could move my mouse around, but there wasn't anything I can do on that screen. So I started my comp... and got into safe mode and went back to a previous restore point. I had this same problem before when I tried to install sp2 when it wasn't released to the public. I figured the problem would have been fixed by now, but I guess i's just my laptop.
Has this happend to anyone else? Does microsoft know about it? Can I try something else? Or is there a different type of sp2 made for laptops??? I doubt there would be, but just wish I could update to sp2 without any probs. Thanks in advance. |
I had the same proble, but it was with my family's Desktop PC. After I downloaded SP2 I was asked to reboot my PC, then when it went to reboot it crashed on the Windows XP logo screen then rebooted, and kept doing the same thing over and over again, and I couldn't get it out of this loop. My PC (New Sony Vaio) is no more than 2 months old, I didn't know what to do so I called tech support becuase I couldn't figure how to get into the bios, and system setting to get it into safe mode, also Sony ships the restore disk preloaded on the HD which after 45 min on tech suport they relized I couldn't access the HD though the settings to restore my PC to a restore point. They said my only 2 option where to either send them my HD to let them fix it and to try and recover any files or completely restore the PC and loose everything. Since it was only 2 months old I decided to just reset the thing, but a HUGE FUCKING pain in my ass since I lost all of my personal files.
