Hi

I need a copy or download link for WinXP SP2 for a single machine 32 bit
version. I'm just updating my wife's Win XP home edition SP1 laptop. but
Microsoft update site just links to SP3 or SP2 for multiple machines? I
believe i can order a free hard copy online from microsoft, but I'd rather
just DL one. I did try a link from another site which let me DL it but I
noticed the KB number applied to the multiple machine SP2.

Thanks

I don't believe there is a downloadable SP2 available anymore. Any reason
not to install SP3? Support for SP2 ends in July of this year. SP3 is
supported until April, 2014.

Hi Bruce

It states...not to DL SP3 unless you have SP1a or SP2 already installed on
the machine. And if I try windows update It wont let me go any further with
updates!
Tim recommends to DL the multiple machine SP2, but I'm not sure as it does
say not to install on a single machine. Do you think I should?
