I have tried to update to XP Service Pack 2 but it will not work. I get an
error message saying I need to go into Internet Options and set "userdata
persistence" to ENABLE. It IS set to enable. It will not allow any updates
because of this error. Can you please give me a solution? There are many
things I cannot do because I only have SP1!
