When I tried to install VB Express on a computer in my lab, it asked me to install Service Pack 2. Now I'm getting an error and the internet is really slow. After talking with the tech guy, he told me that Service Pack 2 is not good for networks. Is there anyway around this?

hkcmd is an intel hotkey command manager type application. If you can terminate this before running the setup, hopefully you should be able to install the product better. Don't know why it would cause any interference with the Express edition setup.

You will need to install SP2 before you can install the Express products. You can try downloading the stand-alone version of SP2 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=enon another computer and copying it over to your lab machine.

Let me know if that helps!

I did install SP2 on to the lab computer. Then I downloaded VB. Then after restarting the computer I got an error. SP2 will not work on networks.

I've never seen that before or even heard SP2 was bad for networks! I personally disagree with that but lets not go there.

What is the error you are recieving on the computer that HAS SP2 and installing VBExpress?

hkcmd module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
