Win XP SP2 d/l problem

Dear All,

I have a HP Pavilion desktop with Win XP Home and SP1 installed.

Why isn't SP2 available to install now? Is it because I haven't installed
the other HP Patches that go with the SP2 d/l?

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Cnon

such.

Any other Ideas?

I knew you were going to bring that up :))

Download it, put it on a CD and have it available for later - it will
come in real handy when you slipstream your XP

Don't worry about the:
DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER:
Really - I've always had one computer, and always download the network
updates (I have my updates disabled)

Just download and install...

Thanks to everyone who responded. :)

I think I'll probably just update my computer with the hp updates and than
d/l the service pack, as I'll need it by Sept. or Oct. at the latest. :)

Thanks.
