    I just reformatted my dell laptop and so I have the XP Home that came with it. I have successfully downloaded all updates, but now I cannot upgrade to SP2. I also tried downloading the full install and no luck!

    It just freezes near the very beginning... almost always on "Checking product key" ...

    When I hit cancel it doesn't register and I have to use task manager to cancel it...

    Any ideas how I can get SP2 on this stupid laptop!?

    Does your product key start with FCKGW?

    Try using a friends cd to install it. If that doesn't work call dell and complain (they're sometimes helful, sometimes not)
