That is the entire error message. at first, service pak seems to be loading
fine, then a small window comes up and says "data is invalid". is this the
data coming from Microsoft for the update?

Perhaps a corrupted download. Did you try installing SP2 manually? Download
it first, then run it.

I have been trying to find where to download from. do you know where that

i can't find the stand alone file.
