I appreciate all the help I have received for my problem with installing SP2
I have done all the things everyone has suggested and it still will not
download onto my computer, so is my computer too old I bought it in 2001 I
have Windows XP for home. I have IE6 can not install IE7 until I have SP2. I
have installed all the newest drivers ran virus checks, spyware checks,
defragged, compressed and deleted un nessasary files, I am at a loss as to
what to do next. Do I need more memory? I really need to get this solved b4
Jan 3 rd when my next class starts as I need to install Adobe Creative suite
3 Web Standard. thanks you for your help.
 
Download the full SP2 file to a newly created folder on your hard drive and
then do the upgrade using the downloaded file.

Does it not download, or does it download but not install?

Whatever it doesn't do, when it doesn't do it, exactly what happens?
If you get an error message, please quote it verbatim.

No.
