your internet bandwidth may have problem or your telephone line.

Possiblities include, you turned off a required Windows Service (which is doubtful since you are not seeing a message telling you this but its possible), or you are using a non-legal copy of windows and in that case you need to dload the Genuine Advantage patch from say eMule for this months patch so you can get access to dloads. ;)

What windows are you using?? XP, ME, 2000, 98, or 95. If you are using XP it should download.

Well, you could try getting the CD drive's drivers by going to the manufacturer's web site and installing them, and you could download Windows XP SP2 at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx download SP2 install it, restart and then go to http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/downloadinstall.mspx so if there are any new updates that you need, they are brought to you automatically.\n\n\n\nHope this helps!\n-crad010

If there are no XP specific drivers, the drivers for Windows 2000 should work fine. Give it a try, any way.

is it just sp2 you are trying to install or the whole operating system?If it just trying to upgrade from sp1 to sp2 and you are having errors then its more than likely you are not using a legit copy of WinXP.Do you have the sticker with the serial number for your WinXP?You can just go to Windows Updates and download the sp2 but be warned if you are on dial up this will be a huge download.Until recently Microsoft had a link on their website where you could leave your address details and they would mail you out a copy of sp2.Now you have to ring them direct and ask for a copy to be mailed to you.Alternatively you could go to your closest computer service shop and ask them to burn you a copy of sp2.A good shop should only charge a small fee for this service

Are you downloading from the 'Windows Update' link, in the Start Menu. I did without any problems.

Actually I had a similar problem. Surprisingly (and unfortunately) Windows 2000 does NOT have a compatability mode, like XP does. I eventually upgraded, but yea, my program wouldn't work. Give it a shot though. Good luck.

I don't believe Windows 95 will work online my friend.Do an install of Windows 98 at least.

You cannot download Windows 98 from Microsoft, unlike what the person before me stated [and it would be nice, if you don't know what you are talking about, to remain silent]. \n\nWindows 98 is a legacy product. In other words, Microsoft no longer sells or supports it.\n\nYour best bet would be to ask around to people who fix computers and see if they have a copy, or to check with computer recyclers / graveyards; they often have install discs. Also, any computer science department at a nearby college will have some geek somewhere who has the install disc.\n\nEven if you could find a copy of Windows 98 on the Web, it would take a long time to download, even with broadband.

in order to update service pack 2, you need to have internet connection on your desktop. I wonder what kind of pc that you have in the upstares.. is it windows xp or windows 98? if it window xp then you should be able to update SP2 without any problems.\n\n "Do this from your Laptop"\n   \n    To get service pack 2 \n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en  ( click on download and save that file to your flash card and take it to your destop computer. Plug the flash card through the USB port and go on from there "you know what i mean.")\n\nif that doesn't help you to get the internet connection work you need to reset your IP address on your system.

Re-download/upgrade it from Microsoft...this should cure any issues.

Find an alternate download site. The Microsoft download site will require verification but if you are able to download it off of a filesharing software then it might work.
