My daughter has a Dell 1GB desktop that came with Win 2k Pro SP3.

The new printer requires SP4. Would like to know where I can get it.
Does it automatically install or is it a download to install. I
would like to download it with my Win 98SE machine to a CD and then
install it on her machine. Her machine is running well so I'd prefer
not to install any other patches other than SP4. They use the
machine for business so it's important to keep it up and running.

Would appreciate help with this. I searched the group but found no
specific info.

Regards,

Bill Watt

Hello Bill,

Here you go:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...f1-749f-49f4-8010-297bd6ca33a0&displaylang=en

Also install this one:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...CF-8850-4531-B52B-BF28B324C662&displaylang=en

After that i would strongly recommend to go to www.windowsupdate.com and
download install all other available updates.

Best regards

I've used this with good success:
http://on-disk.com/product_info.php/cPath/40/products_id/216
You can also download it for free from softpedia or filehippo but it's
232mb. In either case you will still have to go to Windows Update when
you're done, which will require validation, but there will be much less to
download than if you had only installed SP4. Note that "SP5.1" is not issued
by Microsft. It is the work of one individual.

Hello Roger,

Do not forget, selfcreated update packages are not supported from MS. They
can include malware etc.

Yes, and I realize that is enough of a disincentive for some to take a pass
on this, which is why I pointed out that it was not a Microsoft product (and
that I had had no problems with it).

Hi Meinolf,

Will installing SP\4 require validation? If so, what's involved with
that? I have had problems with some MS updates in the past and I'm
leery of installing more than they actually need to install the
printer. As I mentioned they use the machine for business.

I do backup the machine periodically. In between total backups I
have a batch program they run that backs up the documents and
pictures etc. But I would hate to have to restore the OS.

Thanks to you and Roger for the info and links.

Regards,

Bill Watt

Hello Bill,

Never looked about validation because i use legal copies but i think not.
With 2000 there is no activation part with MS. During installing the OS you
provide the key, that's all.

I'm pretty certain WU for W2K will only work for valid copies. If the
particular installation has successfully used WU previously then there
shouldn't be a problem, and perhaps "validation" was the wrong word to use.
But if it is a new installation or one that hasn't used WU, the site runs a
check, IIRC.

Thanks to you and Roger for the install info. I found a printer that
should do what they need at Best Buys' Site. The requirements list
Windows 2000 5.00.2195. Would Win 2K SP3 qualify?

Thanks,

I searched the Web and found references to Windows 2000 5.00.2195,
Windows 2000 5.00.2195. SP2. And Windows 2000 5.00.2195. SP4.

So I don't know. I'll check with a Best Buy store to make sure.

Thanks to all for the information.
