service pax ?

my copy of XP has so many patches missing it would take me years to
download them all on my dialup connection so i must be a security risk
..i just dont have the time to catch up with them all .

You can easily make a current version of Windows XP
by slipstreaming SP2 and then burn a new CD.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)

There is only one version 2002.
The same as when released.
There have been 2 Service Packs so the current Service Pack is Service Pack
2.
You do not need to install anything before installing SP-2 since it includes
all Critical Updates from before.

To become current, install SP-2 (if not already installed).
Then there a few updates released since SP-2 was released.

See the Service Pack Installation Checklist:
