Can't Install SP1 Problem

[steven]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I can't install SP1 on my computer.

The error message is I need
administrator rights. But
I am the only one using the computer
and already have administrator rights.

How can I get SP1 to install?

Are you logged in as administrator? What security programs do you have
installed?

Then install SP2. Forget all previous updates. SP2 includes all prior
patches many of which are improved.

Then do it again. If you did it a long time ago you
probably have tons more.

And do it on a regular basis--at least weekly or so.
