Windows XP Service Pack 2

Orchid lover in Georgia

I recently recieved SP2 from Microsoft. When I go to install, the files are
extracted and the screen U PDATING YOUR SYSTEM appears. The system says that
this could take up to two hours, but I have left the computer on overnight,
and the next morning the progress bar hasn't moved. I concllude something is
causing it to hang up at this point. HELP

If you have any virus programs, shut them all down then, do the update.
