[background]
A local bloke who worked for a reseller built the current pc for me. Gave me a full version of XP - i thought. Later on i allowed windows updates, etc downloaded SP2. But then M$ detected i didn't have a genuine version [wgatray.exe ? from memory] - nag screens,etc Slowed word & excel to an nth of normal speed. A real pain. Evenually I reformatted hard disk, reinstalled Pro_sp1 [... end background ] Is there any way of installing sp2 without finishing up with the WGA nag?

It will surely install on SP2 and 3, but not WinXP SP1. Prolly you're correct. i didn't note the exact message but maybe it was a list of operating systems & version numbers. It wouldn't be a bad idea for you to at least install WinXP SP2 anyway. Windows 2000 needs SP4, not Windows XP.
