wonderent Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I have a friend who has an old XP that still has SP1 on it.I have the original disc I ordered from Microsoft way back when SP2first came out and was wondering if I could use that to save her sometime or would it be better for her to download it since so muchtime has passed?I didn't know if they might have changed the download to include some of the fixes....since it seems as though we've had hundreds!Sure would appreciate your time.nancy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheTerrorist_75 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I still use the SP2 disk to update old PCs that weren't updated, then I connect to Windows Update for the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikex Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 The cd will save a a bit of time....but there are still loads of updates after it.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 My friend made me a cd using this method. their are only about 25 updates I still have to do. this also includes flash player installation. I will probably make a new cd soon, that will include most all of the updates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wonderent Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hey....I decided to come back and check post again. Appreciate the extra input. I'm going to take the cd over for sure. I just wanted to make sure y'all thought it was the same as the initial SP2 download I would get now [before updates]. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flashh4 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Howdy wonderent, before you do the SP2 thing, make sure you are clean of viruses & other infections first.Stay safe ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 After you use your SP2 update CD from microsoft to do that update, here is a link to the cumulative update rollup from earlier this year which will almost bring it up to datehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/826939You can download and burn this to cd Just scroll down to where it says to downloadhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=enYou will still need to do a custom windows update to get non critical updates such as the latest messenger and .net framework 3.0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
