Service Pack 2 for Windows xp Home

I am recovering my windows xp home that hasn't been used in over a year. My
final step is to download the service pack 2. It will not download. I
believe it is a firewall/security issue. I do not have the updated security
center on my computer. How do I get service pk 2 downloaded? Please help!

Hi,

SP2 is available at the Microsoft Download Center (standalone
"network" version, 266 MB):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-9e368d3cdb5a

(disregard the "intended for IT professionals and developers" part,
it can be used on a single computer as well)

Be sure to select the correct language for your OS before starting the
download.


For folders you can consider deleting and other disk cleanup tips
after a successful SP2 installation, take a look here:
