How to get critical updates without SP2

My wife's computer got the "blue screen of death" twice after an attempted
upgrade to SP2, so I've given up and am sticking with SP1. But now I can't
get critical updates, because the updater wants me to install SP2 first.
Seems like I should be able to get those updates without installing SP2. Any
ideas?

Brian: You should contact Microsoft Product Support for help getting SP2
installed.

Go to: http://support.microsoft.com/
In the middle of the page is a section titled "Assisted Support". Click on
the link to select a product (XP Home, XP Professional, etc.) and you will
be taken to a page that will let you request email help, an online chat, or
a phone call. These guys are pros and can help resolve almost any install
problem.
