Hey, anyone have any ideas why SP 2 won't install.  It went through the
downloading process, restarted the system, and tried to continue the install,
ran 2 hours with 0 progress.   I restarted in safe mode with network support
to try and elliminate the other programs that start up from interfering with
the install.  It did run untill it said 100%, then came up with a message
that windows did not update and the system was reverting to the previous
setup!  Any ideas would be appreciated!
