I need a copy of both SP1 & 2 to update a computer, does anyone know where I
can obtain these upgrades as a download?

thanks for your help
 
You can get SP2 from Windows Update on the Start Menu. SP2 includes SP1 and
is not required to install SP2.
 
Note: Since SP2 supersedes SP1, you should not install SP1
before installing SP2.

SP2 is cumulative. IOW you only need SP2.
It has all the fixes.

Hi Carey, thanks for your link info, I downloaded SP2 and burned it on a CD
to put onto the other computer,and it said it wasnt a valid win32
application.

ANy other suggestions pls?

thanks
 
Click on start, click help & support, scrool to bottom of help & support
page and click on windows updatde. If you have dial up internet it may take
a long time to download the sp1 & 2. Hope this helps Bill . "srobin"
 
When you get this message 1 or 2 things have usually happened:
1) The download is corrupt or
2) You downloaded the 64-bit version instead of 32-bit version.

You only need SP2, which includes the SP1 components still relevant.
