trying to update xp without internet

August 4, 2008

I have two computers; one of which is hooked up to dsl internet and just

hooked up a wireless router. My other computer is an older Dell (2001 or so)

and when I went to hook up the wireless adapter; it would not install because

I needed to update the XP with a Hot Fix. How am I able to do this and not

be hooked up to internet???? Help!!!!

Re: trying to update xp without internet

Download the hotfix to the computer that has internet access and then

transfer it to the other computer with a CD, floppy or thumb drive.
