Guest Peter Schoots Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I installed XP Professional and would like to update it with SP2. When I go to the site where I can download SP2 it brings me to Windows Update . When I click on Express (recommended) it does not show SP2. I have downloaded all the upgrades that it shows. When I check the Windows version it does not show Service Pack 2. Any suggestions?
Guest brnelson Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 I have been having trouble trying to update too. One thing I have done is use Mozilla Firefox browser, search for "ms updates" to go to the microsoft update site, tell it to keep using firefox, and then use the various search methods there to find what I want.

HTH, s That is to 'scare' the faint of heart away. (Perhaps they meant it as a friendly warning for the uninformed...) That download is PERFECTLY acceptable for an individual to download and install on a single system. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Guest PA Bear Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 If Windows Update website (or Automatic Updates, for that matter) offers you any updates, WinXP SP2 is already installed. SP2 has been a prerequisite for updating since Oct-06. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) AumHa VSOP & Admin DTS-L.org Peter Schoots wrote: > I installed XP Professional and would like to update it with SP2.
