From: LD5SZRA on 2 May 2010 17:11 You will need SP3 if you want to continue receiving critical Updates and hotfixes. I suggest download the full-file version from here: <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en> Further info is also available here: <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc164204.aspx> hth Rudy wrote: > > Blank Have Win XP -Home--SP-1-Version-2002(32 bit)-- 512 ram/160 > GB-HD/Pent-4--2.80 GHz.
