Office XP Service pack

S

Stan

As I have some stability problems (during data import) with Office
XP2002 I wanted to install a service pack upgrade. I understand that
there are SP1 & SP2 available. However there is errror message about a
file not being intact - maybe patched (I have some virus-patches
installed). Do I have to reinstall Office or is there easier way? Do
the Service packs have all the security patches?

Turn off your anti-virus software before installing the SP or patch updates.

There may be some post-SP2 security patches. You can get a scan done at

Actually I dont have anti-virus program. Problem is a SP-installer
generated 'modified file' -alert that breaks SP1-installation. I
have installed Win2K Pro's SP2 after installing Office - could this
produce interference. Can I refresh the Office installation without
losing my private settings?
