Updating XP
I have an older computer with Windows XP SP1 installed at home. It is
not connected to the internet. I need to update it and have SP2 installed. I downloaded SP2 from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en at work. Can I download a single file with all of the other security updates? Since I can not use windows update, what are the other options?

No. You will have to get a list of all of the post-SP2 updates (and there are a huge number of them) and download these individually and then install them. If you are not connecting to the Internet you may not need these post SP-2 updates, at least not for installing and running software etc. unless there are specific issues with a certain application or peripheral that requires a Windows update to fix.

Do I need any pre SP2 updates? If you have the complete SP2 download then you have everything that was issued since XP was originally released. SP2 is cumulative. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
