Not sure what you mean by 'latest' service pack as there is only one. SP2
isn't scheduled for release until the 2nd quarter of next year. If you've
found some pre-release beta code on some dodgy P2P site, then you're not
going to find any assistance here.

persona non grata

I cannot install the sp1 or the sp1a service pack. I get
a message that it is not compatible with my current
version of windows. When I bought the computer it had
Home edition. I upgraded to Professional right away
for "home network" reasons.

Any suggestions for me? I disabled my virus software.

Type "winver" ENTER
What does the entire version line say?

if you install windows svc. pack 2, should you install svc pack 1 first? or
does svc. pack 2 include everything in 1...?

Instructions for use of the Beta Service Pack are included with it.
Please follow these.
If you have acquired the SP from an unofficial source - do not use it.
