Updates Service Pack XP (annot to connect to the server)

Only, I recharged my old PC with windows xp, but cannot get updates or Service Packs 1 or 3... I'm not an expert on rockets & try to understand ot he website is a pain... I went to the Download Center you are looking for the link (DOWNLOAD SERVICE PACK ISSUES) and could not find it. He said somting about downloading directly to the PC without having to be connected at install.because when I try it on the site, I get error messages (cannot CONNECT to the SERVER) I'm just trying to get the old PC running on all cylinders again but didn't know what I was getting in... Thanks Denny

I had the same problem.

It turns out that, SP1a, being a "Quick install" package, has no corresponding data on the Microsoft server.
This file, for some strange reason, which is still referenced and recommended by Windows Update.

(At least for now), you must install Windows XP Service Pack 2 Package of Network Installation for developers and the professionals instead, in order to install the SP3 update.

It's just 266 MB download, not the download of 1 MB as downloads (nothing)... in order to install the download 544 MB.

I hope this helps!
