xp pro sp1a clean install

[Jeff]

Will windows update offer me updates if I wipe my system and start new?

All so my trend micro 2008 only supports sp2. so I will have to get sp2 as
soon as possable. any suggestions or things I should do before I try to
install sp2 from a fesh install of sp1a disk. BTW thats all I have a sp1a cd.
and the slipstreams I have made in the past do not work.

Yes, windows updates will offer you all the updates including the SP2.
Try to slipstream the SP2 by following these steps here:
Slipstreaming Windows XP with Service Pack 2

Download the SP2 from here:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) for IT Professionals
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;ln;windowsxpsp2i

If you will not be able to slipstream the SP2 and perform a clean install of
the Operating system, you will need to be careful and get the updates first
and don't browse to any website before installing your Trend micro security
software.
HTH.
