Attempted to install the Win2k SP3 and after analyzing the configuration the setup stops and complains about the file sysmain.sdb being in use by another program. I have shutdown all apps, stopped non-essential services, removed any Norton items and still the same message. Anyone know what direction to start looking in? MS Support has nothing on this expect if you are using XP.

Have you tried to re-download the file? Perhaps yours is corrupt.

Did you say you are trying to use the W2K SP3 on XP? CJ

Did not try to re-download the SP3 Express Install. I am installing on W2K.
