Default Where can I d/l SP2?

Hi there- I'm looking for the win XP sp2 update somewher eon the net, that I can download as a setup file, and then install on my laptop, which doesn't have the internet.

The reason for my doing this is that I need sp2 to log on to the net at college, so if my laptop doesnt have it, then i can't log on to download it etc etc.

Thanks!

Sarah.

Default Sp2

You can also order an SP2 CD from Microsoft for a $1.75 shipping charge. I need the CD because I fix a lot of computers and it makes things that much easier.

Default Not spam

It's not spam, I want to help people and I am trying to get a small side business off the ground. There is no reason I can't do both.

haha. Busted.

Hai, I should promote myself too. I service Simcoe County in Ontario, I'm a nasty, miserable old coot. I don't ship anywhere. My prices aren't competitive. I'd rather not sell you anything because it's a nuisance driving to Markham and I hate getting tickets. I'd rather drink beer than service your computer. Google is my best friend. My normal rate is $50/hour, but for you I'll cut you a special deal and make it $65. Feel free to add me to your MSN and book an appointment.



Ok, seriously? Here is the download for IT Professionals to deploy on numerous computers. This is the one you can burn to CD:
