    xp service pack 2 (again)

    Really need some help with this! Installed xp service pack 2 on my HP, & it messed up my monitor's color & resolution. Tried to adjust color & resolution, but apparently the service pack froze these adjustments in monitor properties. Had to uninstall the service pack in order to restore my monitor's color & resolution. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions as to what might have caused this & how to fix it? PLEASE HELP!!!

        your xp version is so old it's almost impossibe to fix

        you can run windows as a repair disk



        finding an oem xp sp2 home disk is the trick, have your numbers handy
