Service pack 2 question

Ok i formatted and put on windows xp pro x64. Did the updates, then i noticed that the updates put on the service pack for windows server??? Tried to uninstall it caused alot of problems, system restore worked but stuff still did not work right, couldn't even now get to add or remove programs.

So i did a reinstall, now i am trying to get the right service pack 2, but i can't find it, i would be messaging microsoft but they charge 50 sum bucks. uh no!

Q: Why is it trying to put windows serer service pack 2 on my computer? And were can i find the right service pack, because i can't find it on ther sight?


ps curse microsoft, even thought i love them!

Are you using windows/microsoft update?

The SP for Server would never install on XP, you must be mistaken about that part.

XP Pro x64 SP2 is not only for the 64-bit version of XP, but also for Windows Server 2003...

Sadly enough it did, i look at the requirements through a program on my computer for Battlefield 2 and it says i had windows xp pro x64 with windows server service pack 2.

Those say for windows server, but i am not using wondows server is that ok. Just trying to make sure i get the right one, don't want it messes up again.

I believe the one you are using is OK. It says it's for pro64 and server.

Interesting, thanks for confusing us MS!

So are you sure it wont matter? But when i did it the first time. Why did it says sp2 for server, and not for professional.
