Real Geek Forums - SP-2 Install

- - SP-2 Install (http://www.realgeek.com/forums/sp-2-install-484495.html)

I'm kinda "stuck" because I'd like some updated versions of my IE, Windows
Media Player, and some newer antivirus updates, but none of them will
install without SP-2,
That goes for SP-3 also, even that won't install unless it sees that I have
had SP-2 previously installed. I currently have SP-1.

What can I do to get SP-2 to install,

and...

Re-installing my OS is out of the question, I'd loose to much if I did that.

Thanks Again
Bruce AKA, Briamor

P.S. I have asked this question before, about 3-4 weeks ago, and today I
logged on to see if there were any new answers, and I can't find any of my
past posts.
How long do they last, and why can't I find ones from just a few weeks ago,
that were answered,
(Yes I used "find" and put in the dates "before and after") but still
nothing with my name appeared?

Multi-posted on same day.

Look into cross-posting as opposed to multi-posting for the future. Saves
everyone time and effort.

Please see the responses to your other postings - including one telling you
about Google Groups.
