Hello,
I just built my computer loaded Windows XP Pro. After
install I went to Microsoft update page and down loaded
windows XP service pack 1(Express). After loading I am
prompted to restart which I did, the computer will not
boot back up. To be sure, I left it for 30 to 40 min.
still nothing. I then tried to start it through safe mode
nothing, I tried to start it through start from last good
boot nothing, I ended up formatting and reinstalling
windows XP Pro. needless to say I am a little afraid to
down load this again how important is this update. I have
down loaded all the other updates. has anyone had this
problem? if so what did you do?

Thanks,
Don Smith
 
If I were you, I would wait just a few days and download SP2.
