I just installed XP and now want to install Office Professional 2007, but OP
2007 says I need SP2. Why doesn't Windows update install these automatically
and why can't I find it to install it manually?

Thankx for the info GE, but this is where I have been going to download SP2.
When I get there it analyzes my computer and never offers SP2, it only
offeres Security Update (KB835732) which I have now installed about 15 times!
In "About" it shows my XP version as 5.1. I'm sure I don't have SP2 or
Office 07 wouldn't still be saying I need to load it first? Now what?

All versions of XP (regardless of the SP level) show the version as 5.1.
Winver on my system returns Version 5.1 (build 2600 xpsp_sp2 etc.).

Thankx Jim! Based on what your winver is, I am certain mine is not updated
to SP2. Now I just need to know why the Windows Update site won't list it as
an option for me to update. Any other ideas?

Winver is part of Windows. Get to it via Start/Run cmd Winver.

Thankx "Taurian - MVP"! I had seen the download you list here first when I
was going through all of the available downloads, but it said it was for IT
Pro's so I didn't use it. I just needed someone to let me know it was ok for
my single PC application. Worked great and all is fine.............
