XP SP1 file

Postby dodecahedron on Sat Aug 21, 2004 9:30 am

i have 2 different files of the Windows XP SP1 (not SP1a !) file: xpsp1_en_x86.exe

[1 i had long ago. the 2nd was put on my computer by repair techs who reinstalled XP for me. i have reasons to believe that my XP is somewhat messed up, and maybe this 2nd SP1 file is at fault]

both files are 140,440,152 bytes (133MB) in size.
using CDCheck, fc and comp, they differ at 1 byte only, byte # 71 (47 hex).
file 1: value 00 (hex i think)
file 2: value 83.

using a simple MD5 checksum program called, how aptly, MD5 Checksum, i find these MD5 hashes:
file 1: ec f6 25 f6 56 3d fc ae ee cc 4b 14 81 89 9d 4b
file 2: 65 7b 9a eb b9 2f df b1 6d 03 f3 47 5f 95 9d f0

i'd appreciate anyone who has this file (xpsp1_en_x86.exe) on their hard drive to help me check out which file is messed up.
check the MD5 hash of your file and compare with the ones i gave.

heck, why not make it a poll ? :o :lol: (i think my first ever at CDRLabs!)

It must be XP Pro is it?


XP Home edition has SP1 built in. I just installed SP2 on my Home edition and it works better than ever.

Spaz,do you mean the response speeds increase by installing SP2?

As I asked hox,did you get any errors with any programs?I have heard rumors here saying that some programs wont open when SP2 is installed.

In most cases that's because of new MS firewall. If you shut it down, programs work fine...
