Why is it so had to download a copy of service pack 2, i felt as if i was on
a merry-go-round gone mad, i could never get to the place where i needed to
be... downloading a copy of the service pack for my XP system... i was trying
to do this from my windows 2000 server system. i need the Xp SP2 in order to
