hi all

when i try to install sp2 it says that YOURE KERNEL FILES ARE NOT MICROSOFT VERSION or somethin like that.

i just have kaspersky and outpost , even when i shut down all the processes i still have the problem.

anyone knows why and how can i fix it?

Are you using any customized bootscreen?

Check you boot.ini;

You should have something like this if you are using a bootscreen;

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /FASTDETECT /kernel=kernel1.exe

Delete the /kernel tag and reboot

IMPORTANT!!, Be sure that you have a copy of the working boot.ini

If you can not start windows after the change, Start your XP-CD, press R (i think) to start the Recovery Console, and replace boot.ini with the old, working one!

btw: your boot.ini might be Write Protected (bad english?), change that before editing =D

Good luck!

Write Protected (bad english?)

He means "Read Only"

In Chinese, yeah, it is a "Read Only".

Couldn't agree with you more 'cause I had the same problem which was fixed all by myself, don't wanna be all by myself (score from shrek, donkey singing )
