problem downloading background intellegence transfer service

I have Windows XP SP1, and am attempting to download SP2. I keep getting an
error about not being able to download background intelligence transfer
service 2.0 and winHTTP5.1 (kb842773).
Can someone help me out here?

Download and SAVE KB842773 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

After the download is done disconnect the system from it's
internet/network connection.
Temporarily TOTALLY disable the installed antivirus software/security
suite. Consult the Help file or visit the manufacturer's web site prior
to disconnecting to learn how to accomplish this.

Now install WindowsXP-KB842773-v2-x86-enu.exe
If you're prompted to restart, do so.
REMEMBER to reenable the installed AV prior to reconnecting it.

Next, download the entire SP2 package:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

OR, order the CD and pay for shipping only:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...s/default.mspx

PRIOR to installing SP2, please read this:
