I've tried twice in 8 months to install SP2 on an older motherboard.
Once installed, the computer flashes this message: an RPC Termination
window with 60 second countdown. I am 100% sure this is not a virus or
trojan. I think the problem is the Bios.
Both times, I've had to reformat and re-install because of the
uninstall feature would not properly remove SP2.
I've called Microsoft SP2 Technical support. Unfortunately, they have
few suggestions for me. They suggested a Safe Mode install of SP2.
The Bios on this MB isDR742E Bios Ver: 1.00.19. The computer is a 900
mhz Micron PC (Millennia RS2100). I have found Bios Ver. 1.00.35. but
have not flashed the Bios.
I'm looking for some guidance before I try this for the 3rd time! Dang
I hate to reinstall everything again ... 10-12 hours of work over
several days. Perhaps I should just live with SP1?
Thanks in advance.
