I had a similar problem applying SP4 on an SP2 Windows 2000 Laptop. I don't know that this will apply to your situation, but this machine had DB2, SQL Server, and Oracle on it, and the database systems were fighting for each other's resources, in addition to trying to apply the Service Pack over the DLLs in question. It ended up, I had to turn off *all* unnecessary services, particularly those related to the databases. Give that a shot, and see if you can get it to work.

I am trying to run service pack 4 for Windows 2000 on a Windows 2000 Professional machine (it currently has SP3 installed). For some reason it is failing to copy some of the system DLLs, such as OPENGL32.DL_ and OLE32.DL_. I have checked (per its instructions) and found both in the temporary folder that it creates to extract all of the files. The question is, why? Why is the SP4 setup having trouble copying files that are clearly there? And then I suppose the logical follow-up question is, what do I do about it? ________________________________________ Rod Falanga http://amci.unm.edu ******************************************************** This Weeks Sponsor StressedPuppy.com Games Feeling stressed out?
