Re: XP reinstall error message

When I go to install SP1, the Microsoft site
automatically takes me to download SP1a. If I try to go
ahead and download that, it brings me to Windows Update,
which scans my computer and comes back saying there are
no updates to install. I've looked in Add/Remove
Programs to try and uninstall SP1 so I can reinstall it,
but it's not listed there. So, I don't know how I would
go about uninstalling it, just to reinstall, in hopes it
would correct my problem. Just a side note, XP starts
perfectly when I press DELETE, it just won't start
automatically. It's got me stumped!
