Hi, I'm new to pc review and I'm having a problem installing sp2.

SP2 will not install because drvmain.sdb is being used.

If you delete drvmain.sdb it recreates itself and then replicates the error.

Any one any ideas?

more info would help ... is this a reinstall or upgrade

Download Process Explorer ... use it to determine which svchost.exe is keeping drvmain.sdb open. Note where the file is and copy it to another folder, then delete the original file.

Reboot should see it not re-appear ... try re-installing SP2 ... if that works, recopy the saved drvmain.sdb back to the original location.
