SP2 Question

B

Bob L

I spent a week at the in-laws and noticed that their Windows XP Professional
computer has not been updated to SP2. They have dial-up so downloading it
is not an option. A while back I downloaded SP2 and installed it on my two
XP Home computers.

Will the SP2 I downloaded work for both XP Home and XP Professional? If so,
I can send them a copy of SP2 on a cd so they can upgrade.

Being your in-laws, I would simply let them know about the availability of
the MS XP SP2 CD being free from MS online. This will relieve you of any
implied responsibility if the SP2 update fubars their PC.

Hi,

Note that a little while ago, Microsoft removed the option to order
the SP2 CD from Microsoft's web site...

The URL
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
now just redirects you to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx
