In addition, SP2 installation does not need to install SP1 first, you can upgrade directly from the Windows XP Pro / Home Original.
(2) Solve ATAPI during the installation process. SYS problem
If you have a virtual drive software such as Daemontools, you may have a prompt error "error: atapi.sys is open or in use by another application", we can uninstall this software first after installing SP2, or will C: / Windows / System32 / drivers Directory ATAPI.sys Remove SP2, then install the system, the file is rebuilt. If a file error occurs during the installation process, you need to copy the relevant file from the Windows XP installation CD.
(3) If the installation failed
SP2 currently has various problems. If you are installing SP2, the installation fails to stop installing, steps slightly.
1. If the system restore function is turned on
Restart your computer, if you can enter the system, restore the system to the state before installing SP2, if not, try to press the F8 inability to restore the operation when starting. If the security mode cannot be entered, then press the F8 key after boot self-test, then select "Safe Mode With Command Prompt" in the menu, then log in as an administrator, enter "In the command line prompt" % systemroot% / system32 / restore / rstrui.exe command, check the system restore operation according to system prompts after entering the bus. 2. If there is no open system restore function
First, use the Windows XP CD to start the computer, press the R key to enter the repair console when installing the welcome screen, follow the prompt to enter the administrator username and password, enter the console command prompt interface, execute the following command:
CD $ NTSERVICEPACKUNSTALL $ / Spuninst
Batch spuninst.txt
Exit
Re-start the computer from the hard disk, after entering XP, run the "cmd" command to open the command prompt window, execute the following command:
CD% Windir% / $ NTSERVICEPACKUNINSTALL $ / SpunInst
Spuninst.exe
Next, the operation of uninstalling SP2 is executed according to the prompt.
Second, after installation: configuration and troubleshooting
(1) SP2 setup skill point
1. Looking back lost IE picture verification code
After installing SP2, most users have discovered that the verification code image (display as a red small fork) is a very serious bug in the place where the verification code needs to fill in the verification code. The solution is: Run the "regedit" command to open the registry editor, sequentially locate "[HKEY_ LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Internet Explorer / Security]", set a register of "blockxbm" in the right side of the window, will Its value is set to "0" (hexadecimal value).
2. Solve BT downloads slower
Many friends are discovered after installing SP2: If you open the BT download file, or BT is clearly slow, or the speed is slow, and even "Unable to open the web page" problem. This is because the number of SP2 default settings will be connected to the number of requests at the same time within 10, and we can use two ways to solve this problem.
Method 1: Close the anti-virus software. Turning off anti-virus software can alleviate this problem to a certain extent, but for system security, the author does not recommend this method.
Method 2: Modify the TCPIP.SYS file. We use WinHex (its download address as: http: //js-http.skycn.net: 8180 / down / ha_whex11_2sr1_zq.rar) to complete the modification, the specific method is as follows: First put the c: / windows / system32 / drivers directory The TCPIP.SYS file is copied to another directory, open the backup file with WinHex, positioned to "00000130" and "4F322" line in the OFFSET column, put its original value "6e 12 06 00", "0a 00 00 00" Modified to "62 13 06 00", "Fe FF FF 00", respectively. After saving, copy the file separately in the security mode C: / Windows / System32 / Drivers, C: / Windows / ServicePackFiles / I386, C: / Windows / System32 / DLLCACHE folder. It is worth noting that the above introduction is the modification of the SP2 2180. It is different for other versions of the modified data value. You can refer to http://www.lvllord.de/4226fix/4226fix- en-manual.htm Data provided in the form. Tip: You can also use the patch made directly from a master of foreign countries (for most current popular SP2 versions), first put TCPIP. The SYS file is copied to a directory, download the patch (download address is: http // www.lvllord.de / 4226fix / evid4226patch20c.exe), put it in TCPIP. After the SYS is located, run again, restart the computer after completing, and finally TCPIP. The SYS file is copied separately to the three folders described above.
3. Let Style XP come to return to life
Many friends are using Style XP to beautify the system, but Style XP cannot be used after installing SP2. There are two ways to solve, we can download the latest version of Style XP, download address: http://www.tgtsoft.com/download.php, you can also use modified UXTHEME.DLL: Put% systemroot% / system32 UXTHEME.DLL copys a copy, open the copy with UltraEdit, and modify the value of the Offset column "0001bb8c" line by the original "81 EC 88 00 00 00 A1 18" to "33 F6 8B C6 C9 C2 08 00" I.e.
4. Modify IE default security level
Many friends find that after installing SP2, we will prompt "Unable to modify ..." if we modify the security settings of the IE, the system prompts the error that is limited to SP2 has a lower security level to users. However, this may make us failed when accessing some sites, we can use the following method to modify its default security level: Run the "regedit" command open the registry editor, position it to "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Internet settings / zones / 3] "
5. Let MaxThon use SP2 pop-up control function
After upgrading SP2, IE adds the pop-up intercept function, which allows us to easily intercept most pop-up advertisements, and its function is strong and even smother Maxthon's unfilled window. But this feature can only be implemented in IE, if you want to call this feature in other IE core multi-page browsers such as Maxthon, GreenBrower, then simply change the file name of the Maxthon installation directory. Iexplore.exe. It should be noted that we need to set MAXTHON as the default browser after the rename. 6. Let the system tray not display "Windows Security Alert"
The Windows Security Alert The default will pop up the Windows Firewall, the firewall software is not installed, and the automatic update is not enabled, and we can open the security center component in the control panel, click the "Change 'Security Center" on the right side of the window. Inform me ", cancel the" firewall "," automatic update "," virus protection "
7. Two ways to uninstall SP2
There are two ways to uninstall SP2: 1. Uninstall it in the addition delete program component of the control panel; 2. Run the "cmd" command to enter the command prompt window, enter the following command:

After the installation is complete, restart the computer, you will find that you will find that "Professional" in the past is no longer, Windows XP All versions are unified after installing SP2, "Microsoft Windows XP", enters After the XP, the system will prompt you to configure the Windows firewall. The following writer is a relatively common fault encountered during the P2 process.
Fault 1: After installing SP2, Windows Update's version is still V4, I manually use V5 to update, but find some updates that cannot be scanned or unused, I want to return to V4, how to operate?
Workaround: Run the "Services.msc" command to open the service setting window, enable the Automatic Updates, and the Background Intelligent Transfer Service.
If you want to uninstall it and reuse V4, you can use the following method: Delete the V5 folder under the C: / Program Files / Windows Update, remove the wuweb.dll under the% SystemRoot / System32 directory or modified to wuweb.dll. Files of other suffixes such as Bak.
Fault 2: After upgrading SP2, you cannot open some chat room pages (such as Netease chat room), and the page is incomplete when the page is accessed.
Workaround: After installing SP2, you need to install Java virtual machine support software. It is recommended to use the Java software released by Sun, download address: http://www.java.com/zh/download/windows_Automatic.jsp
Fault 3: After installing SP2, whenever you use NET commands or other ways to remotely operate other computers, you will have an error prompt. A. The Error WAS Access is Denied. "Wait.
Workaround: These faults generally appear when you have other computers on components such as Computer Management, Disk Management, and other components in the MMC console. SP2 upgrades the ICF firewall in previous versions to the WF (Windows Firewall firewall) and improves its default security level. The computer must open the TCP 445 port when we have the SP2 and the firewall's computer has been installed on the remote operation. As a result, the solution has the following three:
Method 1: Click Start → Settings → Control Panel → Windows Firewall to open the firewall settings window, switch to the Exceptions tab, check "File and Printer Sharing", click Edit button, "Edit" Services "TCP 445" in the service window, click the change range, check "Only My Network" or check "Custom List" and enter the IP address of the computer you want to control
Method 2: Run the "cmd" command Open the command prompt window, enter the following command:
Netsh FireWall Set Portopening TCP 445 TCP445 ENABLE
Method 3: Run "gpedit.msc" command open group policy editor, select "Computer Configuration → Management Templates → Network Connection → Windows Firewall → Domain Formulation Tool", double-click "Allow remote management exceptions" in the right window. Set to "Enabled".
Fault 4: After installing SP2, the local connection of the network connection is limited or not connected, and the online neighbor cannot access it normally, but we are online but everything is normal.
Workaround: Open the "Properties" window of the local connection, specify an IP address for the network card in the "TCP / IP" property under the "General tab".
Fault 5: After installing SP2, when using the remote assistance function, encounter the "The Remote Server Machine Does Not Exist or Is Unavailable" error message.
Workaround: First select "Start → Settings → Control Panel → Windows Firewall" to switch to the Exceptions tab to ensure that "file and printer sharing" and "remote assistance" are checked, followed by "gpedit.msc" Open the Group Policy Management window, expand "Computer Configuration → Management Templates → System → Remote Assistance", start "Enable Remote Assistance" and "Providing Remote Assistance"
If the fault still exists, switch to the Exceptions tab in the Windows Firewall, add "% systemroot% / system32 / sessmgr.exe" and "% systemroot% / pchealth" and "% systemroot% / pcHealth" and "% systemroot% / pcHEAalth" and "% systemroot% / pcHEAalth" and "% systemroot% / pcHEAalth) Helpctr / binaries / helpsvc.exe program and TCP 135 port.
Fault 6: After installing SP2, when managing Bluetooth devices in Device Manager, the system prompts "Device Not Found.", Some Bluetooth devices (such as certain models of NOKIA phones) cannot be installed correctly.
Workaround: This fault is generally due to the unclear installation of the Bluetooth device, or the Bluetooth device's VID (Vendor ID, Sales ID) or PID (Product ID) is consistent with your Windows XP SP2 and the third-party driver of the product. Since Windows XP SP2 will give priority to the driver of the system, it is possible to conflict. Solve very simple: Open the% windir% / INF directory, rename the bth.inf file to bth.bak, if the fault still exists, then retrieve the driver of the Bluetooth device, if you don't want to install SP2?
If you temporarily do not want to install SP2 for a variety of reasons, each time Windows Update and system automatic updates are prompted to install SP2, how to block these frequent tips?
Method 1: Run the "regedit" command Open the registry editor, sequentially locate the "[HKLM / Windows / WINDOWSUPDATE" branch, and build a reg_dword value called "donotallowxpsp2" on the right side, Modify its value to "1", no matter whether it is a system automatic updater or Windows Update will not be prompted to install SP2.
Method 2: In fact, Microsoft has already released a small program called XP SP2 Blockertools, first from http://download/0/4/A/04A04811-5d18-4b34-b57c-f118b044bdf8 / Xpsp2blockertools.exe Download the program, after extracting a directory, run the "cmd" command to open the command prompt window, go to the directory, run the "xpsp2blocker / u" command, when you want to undo this, Just enter the "xpsp2blocker / b" command.
