First off - you want Service Pack 2 - not 1a. 1a is WAY old - not that service pack 2 is much better at this point in age - but the security enhancements alone make it better. As for the second part of your question, you are connected to the Internet or you have a new way of posting I do not understand.

Guest Harry Ohrn Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: WINDOWS XP Service Pack 1a. I don't know why you want SP1a as SP2 is available but I suspect you have your reasons. You can find SP1a here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp1/network.mspx click the tiny "Go" button on the right side of the page. You can download it using another system, burn the downloaded .exe file to CD or onto a usb drive and then install it on your system.

At work, possibly? It does not matter - they have the connection. Beg, buy, borrow or steal - here they are on the Internet - and if they can post to the newsgroup - they can likely do one of the two solutions given. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Guest Gary S. Terhune Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Re: WINDOWS XP Service Pack 1a. Regardless, the suggestion is to download the stand-alone installer for SP2. You don't even *want* SP1. If you can't do that directly from your machine, you'll need to use another machine. Or, order the CD from Microsoft. -- Gary S.

Know anyone with a high-speed connection, who maybe hangs out or works at an internet cafe? Any of them could download the SP2 installer and burn it to CD for you. You can then just run the installer from CD and you'll be off. This will probably be the fastest and cheapest way to do this; it may cost you under $5 for the disk and their time. Incidentally, unless you're forced to use some specific software that absolutely has to have SP1a, there's no real reason that the original XP can't connect to the internet so you can download this directly.
