Hi!
Does anyone knows what´s wrong with the installation of the Service Pack 2?
I have been trying to download the file and it takes forever.. (more than 24
hours). I am using ADSL USB conection that has 512Kbps speed, is that normal?
the updating window showes a blue line in the middle that says: "Finishing
the installation...
Executing processes after the installation" HELP! what´s is wrong?
Thank you very much!

Bea;
Something is wrong, it should not take near that long, especially with that
connection.

Was the computer free of pre-existing problems before you started?
Follow the Service Pack Installation Checklist (link below) to be sure.

Order the free CD or download the Network Installation of SP-2, Step 1 of
the Service Pack Installation Checklist:
