I'm trying in download/install SP2 on my laptop..... I go to the download
site, but it keeps bringing me to an "updates" page, which I've done
already... it doesn't seem to be getting to the SP2 download page.... What am
I doing wrong?

THanks.

Hi Jamie,

Most users pick up the express version of SP2 which just downloads the
components and hotfixes they don't already have. For the full package, you
need to choose the network version here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads [...] laylang=en

It's a whopper at 266MB. The full network version contains everything,
including all critical updates since XP's original release, many of which
you probably already have.
