Hello,
Whilst trying to install XP SP3 on an XP Home PC I got the error - "Access denied". I am thinking of resetting the registry and file permissions as suggested by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377 Does anyone have experience of this? What happens if all goes wrong? Say, the PC will not boot into XP? I will have created a restore point but how do I restore to this if the PC will not boot into XP? Thanks Geoff |
