I am trying to find a downloadable version of windows service pack 2-3

I am trying to find a downloadable version of windows xp SP2, im running on service pack 1, and the need to upgrade pack 3 through 2 then 3.  the automatic update will not work and the download file, I've found is IT multi users! How do the 3 pack?

Although there is mention of this multi users, individual users can use these files, too. :-)

It's not important to upgrade IE6 until AFTER the SP3 is installed.
Here are the detailed instructions:

1. download the installation of SP2, SP3 and IE8 files. I prefer to keep these on a USB key, but this is optional. Here are the links to all the installation of three files:

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=28 (for SP2)

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=24 (for SP3)

http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&ID=43 (for IE8)

And if you wish, download the Setup file of a good anti-virus program. I recommend Avira free Antivirus:

2. disconnect Internet.

3. temporarily disable the automatic updates.

4. install SP2. Restart TWICE.

5 install the SP3. Restart TWICE.

6 switch to IE8. Restart TWICE.

7 install an Antivirus software.

(What happens very often is that someone has their software antivirus running as they try to install SP3, which often translates into chaos! "This is why it must be done after installing SP3 and IE).

8 make sure that firewall Windows is activated (it should be).

(Now you can physically reconnect to the Internet.)

9 visit Windows Update to download and install only the critical security updates.

10 re - enable automatic updates.

After the back if you need guidance.
