You have to start ALL over with the original wiindows XP.\nThen install SP2.\nIf you get teh same issue again you have one of two issues:\n1. You have an illegal copy of XP and sp2 will not install\n2. You have a incompatiable driver - update ALL your drivers before installing SP2.\nRe-download the SP2 and then try the re-install process and make sure your not running any other updates during this time.

Here's your fix, only if your running XP and you have an OEM CD.\n\n1. Boot up with the WinXP CD and at the Setup Screen press the Enter Key.\n  \n2. You will be taken to the Windows XP Licensing Agreement. Press F8 to proceed.\n\n3. The next screen gives you the option to do a fresh (clean) install or to repair\n     the selected Windows XP installation. To run a Repair Install press "R".\n\n***CAUTION*** if you do not see the option to repair the selected Windows XP\ninstallation DO NOT choose the option to continue installing a fresh copy without\nrepairing as that will overwrite your data and cause unrecoverable data loss.\n\n4. If you originally installed XP with Service Pack 1 and later installed Service Pack     2,  you will need to re-install Service Pack 2.\n\n5. If you have any Microsoft Office products installed,  you will need to re-activate\n    with the Product Key code. Contacting Microsoft may be required.

I never heard of that happening. Boot in safe mode and change pw from there if you have SP2 it wont let you, so my advice to you is reformat.

if your copy of xp has sp2 on it then no you won't have to reinstall it. if not, then you will. the first part of reinstalling xp should be formatting which wipes out all your data including the registry, so you will get a new fresh copy

You can upgrade, but you need to create a new XP Pro CD with Service Pack 2 - the process is called slipstreaming.  See:
