[QUOTE="Noels, post: 713731, member: 49942"] Pocky, I think since your Windows CD didn't have SP2, it may not have installed properly and that's why you couldn't load apps and it wouldn't open a second time. I suggest you open Boot Camp again (from within OS X) and delete your Windows installation and partition and start over. This time use a retail copy of Windows with SP 2 or the one you have with SP 2 slipstreamed into it. And this time go by those instructions you printed out and you shouldn't run into any problems. It tells you to use a disc with SP2 right in the front... Good luck, Noel EDIT: Here's one of the less expensive versions of XP with SP2: [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116056"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116056[/URL] The same one I used and it worked great!!
