Hi

Someone may be able to help.

I am trying to update Windows, however I can download KB891230 but can't install. Has anyone any ideas.
I'm not sure whether I have a legit or pirated OS.

Many thanks
Grandpa

Yeah after you do Keith's Idea....Why are you installing the KB files? Cant you just update to SP2 in just one shot? I could be wrong here as it could be something else?

Hi Guys.

Thanks for that.

Not good news. It looks like I won't be able to get updates, unless I spend MORE money and buy XP OS.

Cheers

Me again

Am running XPpro SP2

If you downloaded SP2 recently, the XP CD should be valid

If not

Contact Microsoft as some regions have a replace illegal software policy

HI Keith

I do have XP home legit copy, I guess I could always have that reinstalled.

I recently had a motherboard melt down and this was replaced and the computer place installed XPpro. Can I install directly over the top of this.


Cheers

If the computer shop loaded it, then it is more than likely genuine software, ask them what provision they made for re-installing
