Re: [digitalradio] Sound card install problem
I already have the pack on my HD, as I do use automatic updates. So, my question is... if you have the pack already on your HD, how do you take care of the install when prompted to insert the CD with the service pack on it ? Andy.

RE: [digitalradio] Sound card install problem
Hello Andy, When I really felt like being a risk taker, I have Google searched for SP2 on the web and downloaded it that way - who knows what might be inside that download but it worked for me. It might work for you depending on your particular needs.

Re: [digitalradio] Sound card install problem
Andy, on my hard drive there is a directory C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\I386. This may be what the program is looking for, if it exists on your drive too.
