Guest Maurice Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I have recently installed Windows XP home edition. When I first started to update to SP1 I after the download and the computer go the blue screen. I got the disc for SP1 and installed with no problem. Now I'm trying to install SP 2 and again I get the blue screen. My question is why can't I download from the website and not get the blue screen. Or should I just purchase the disc for SP 2 and SP 3. Thanks!!!
