Hi Guy's
I just reinstalled Wind XP Pro on my Dell Optilex 170L desktop & all the right drivers , but my XP Disc is only serv pac 1 & most software updates seem to have a problem with it ..

Question is what is the best & cheapest way to add the s/p 2&3 to my PC ?
This PC is my back up & I am in no hurry to bring it up to @ least SP 2 should I just leave it on auto updates or what ?

Cheers Ozi

SP3 is all inclusive of prior updates including SP2. Save file and burn to CD for possible future use.

Go here:

or

Same result.

Many thanks for the links . I have PC set for auto U/Dates , and have already added SP2 & by what you said I could have gone straight to SP3 . I will take your advise & save & burn .
Thanks again .
