SERVICE PACKS 1 & 2

[Guest]

I HAVE NEVER UPDATED MY WINDOWS XP WITH THE SERVICE PACKS 1 OR 1
WHEN SER. PAK 1 CAME OUT, I NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD A HP PATCH BEFORE INSTALLING
IT. WITHOUT THIS PATCH MY COMPUTER WOULD NOT REBOOT. I PANICKED AND HAVEN'T
DONE ANYTHING.
I HAVE ORDERED THE SERVICE PAK 1 CD FROM MS, BUT AM AFRAID TO INSTALL
WITHOUT THE HP PATCH AND DON'T KNOW IF I STILL NEED THIS PATCH OR HOW TO FIND
OUT. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED

THANKS

SP2 includes all the patches found in SP1, therefore you
only need to install SP2.
