Help - SP2.. Can it be downloaded as a file ? ?
Hi,
A friend of mine is having issues with his dialup connection where the modem keeps hanging up every 20 mins.. He is trying download SP2, but as you can imagine over a dial up connection, the process is turning out to be frustrating... Is it possible for SP2 to be downloaded without going through windows update ? I would like to download it(the wonders of broadband) and take it to his machine on my USB drive... Any help would be appreciated. G. |

You can also order a free Windows XP Sp2 CD-ROM from Microsoft.

If I may make one more suggestion. Make a slipstreamed CD of WinXP. The
best time to install SP2 is just after a fresh install of XP. With the slipstreamed CD, SP2 is installed at the same time as XP. Amazingly, the time to install both is no more than installing XP alone saving about 30 minutes and reducing the chances of any problems with SP2. Good luck "Matt Buxton" wrote in message ...
