When trying to install XP-SP3 it gets about halfway through the install process and then I get an "ACCESS DENIED" message. After the first try I turned off my anti-virus and firewall. No luck. I have since gone in and turned off everything I could think of (anti-virus, firewall, Ad-Aware, Windows Defender, etc.) and still it won't install. I even tried contacting Microsoft but they were not any help (doesn't surprise me as they want to completely step away from XP). At this point I have pretty much determined to stay with XP-SP2 until there is a huge need to move to Windows 7. While Trainz 2010 kind of prods me a little I'm not sure I'm ready to make that leap yet.
Thanks,
Mac
