Can I DNLD SP2 if SP1 is NOT up to date
I just ran my "recovery discs" and put everything back to "New"- my aol went
back to 8.0, and my sp2 went to sp1-needing updates! Can't I just download sp2 without updating sp1?? I have ver.-2002 sp1 orig installed. I have dial-up Aol- 5 HOURS of SP1 updates is what I'm looking at. Right? |

Given your situation (dialup) I would suggest this: Find a friend or a nearby business with a hi-speed connection and a CD burner. Have them download the XP SP2 IT/Administrative install and burn it to CD. Install SP2 from that CD, not from download. Put the CD away with your restore CDs. Here is the link for the admin download. It is big, about 275 meg: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro.../winxpsp2.mspx or search on Google for 'XP SP2 IT download' Take the file that says :"download and Deploy Service Pack 2 to Multiple Computers" which takes you to: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en This tactic can ultimately save you quite a bit of hassle.

The same SP2 works for both Home and Pro. That is, there is really only one SP2, and it covers both Home and Pro. -pk "Patrick Keenan" wrote: "iironangel" wrote in message ...

You can download SP2 from here
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en You might want to use it and your Windows XP Home CD to integrate it into a slipstreamed version of XP that can be very useful http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htm -- Harry Ohrn MS-MVP [Shell/User] www.webtree.ca/windowsxp "iironangel" wrote in message ...
