Can't find SP2

[Jim H]

I have automatic updates enabled in XP Home. Broadband
was connected and a number of critical updates were
acquired and installed. SP2 was *not* one of them.
Where is it?

Microsoft's update website has links to "download sp2"
which don't! All I get is instructions as to what to do
before getting SP2.

Help | About Windows displays:
Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633: Service Pack
1)

How can I get SP2?

Thanks

Thanks. I'm getting it now. Looks like it might be
overkill, but with my luck I'll need it again...

If you have broadband, download the full 266 MB version at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2predl.mspx
- Download and deploy to multiple machines, ignoring comments about
corporate networks

Or look for a CD free on order at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
or on current covers disks of several mags, or at some stores like
Staples
