When I try to download sp1a for windows xp to update I get error message cannot conect to the server. What can I do

I have windows xp. She badly needs updating. What is the most simple and quick way to update?

Hi Lynmiller,

·         You install the service pack through Windows Update?

If so, you can try to install the update manually and check if it helps. In addition, it is important that you install SP3 because this update contains several other important updates and security updates.

Step 1: To install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed.
