Can I download Win XP2 ?
My daughters laptop is still running XP1 but she only has a very slow dial up connection, is there any way I can download XP2 update and burn it onto a CD for her?

Shouldn't be a problem. Once burnt onto disk, should be able to run the .exe and install

AFAIK you can also go to the MS site & they will send you an official SP2 disk for free.

Re: Can I download Win XP2 ?
Zoom, do you know if they do that within the UK and not just in the US? I'd be interested in keeping a copy for every time I have to reformat this Win box... save me having to download it, and save me having to waste a CD-R.

Re: Can I download Win XP2 ?
I just got an E-mail from Microsoft this morning telling me they no longer ship free CD's of SP2.
They do say however they will be shortly putting it up for sale at a very small cost.
They said that some branches of PC World and Dixons may still have some freely available so you could go in and ask if they have some.

Download from Jellbaby's link worked fine, around 20 minutes on 2 meg.
