Get a friend to download it for you
Windows XP Service Pack 2 - download (for single PCs also)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
Are you aware that SP3 is now out for Windows XP?
Are You Ready for WinXP SP2?
http://support.microsoft.com/default...r=windowsxpsp2
As you are posting this question, I will assume you have some way of getting internet
connection.
