After updating XP with SP2, my computer became unstable and would frequently
lock-up, also, my anti-virus program PC-Cillin stopped working. I then
tried reinstalling SP2 using the CD and after about the halfway point it
stopped and said: Access is Denied. That was followed by Removal Wizard
which immediately uninstall it. It gave me no options. I then tried
reinstalling SP2 from the web site and the very same thing happened. In
other words I cannot get SP2 to install now. The anti-virus program is
still not working either. Help would be appreciated. Tony
