I need to download sp2 for my mom's computer. She has dial up and would take
too long. She has never installed it. How can I download and burn to cd. I
can only find where windows checks the machine I am currently on for updates.
I have waited too long to order CD, will be seeing her tomorrow. Oophs!

Thanks, the download says that it is for multiple computer networks, but I
assume it will work for single computer with xp, am I correct?

Yes.
Microsoft prefers single computer users use the Express Installation.
But the Network Installation is the complete Service Pack and can be burned
to CD for use on any and all Windows XP computers.
