i been trying to install service pack 1 for xp but when im installing it, an error comes up saying that the setup was canceled but i didnt even cancel. im downloading it from the microsoft windows update site. please help!!!!!!
Is this a downloaded copy of windows xp? If it is you might need to change the key to one that is not blacklisted.
nah nah this is legit i got it when i bought the comp.
Probably because you are not using a *cough* legit *cough* version ?
Try THIS and paste ---> javascript:q(235333,"crack") <--- into the address bar.
Good Luck

.......................... also, if you turn off certain services in XP, Microsoft Update won't work.
Can't remember which service(s) they are now though, sorry.
Good Luck

funny pmbuzz but i am using a legit copy and i dont think ur soloution works but thanks for ur help.
have you ran a scan disk and a disk defrag lately?
From what you are saying tells me that your copy of xp, or your COA Key has been Black-listed, Doh!!! If it's legit like you say then someone has ripped you off.

Try downloading XP SP1 to your computer and install it from there. And if that fails, re-install your OS and then install SP1.
Check Control Panel- Add/Remove Programs- then look for Service Pack 1, if it's in there, remove/uninstall it and do it again. I suggest downloading the network version, burning it to a cd, just in case you have to reformat or something- saves a lot of time if you're on dial-up like me.
