I'm in dire need of 32bit xp service pack 1 and 2. Can anybody give me a hand, or point me in the right direction? I just realized neither are supported anymore.

Couldn't find SP1 either. Maybe it's too old. All the things in SP1 are also included in SP2.
Might I ask what's wrong with SP3?

SP 1 and 2 have the netframework software required to download SP3. My version of XP is really old, no service packs on the disk. I hate to, but I have a Vista OS I could load. For what I'm going to use the system for, it should be sufficient. Thanks for the replies.Originally Posted by mrwho

Back when XP sp3 just came out, I powered up the laptop one day, and could not print to any of the Samsung printers.
I called Samsung tech support. They told me that the current line of printers are not compatible with sp3. My only option was to downgrade to sp2. I asked the helpful person what I was supposed to tell the rest of the Samsung users that automatically accepted updates to sp3, and would soon be calling me, unable to print. He didn't have any suggestions.
When those people called me I advised them to call the help line.
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Saved my proverbial ass before. It's not illegal if you've got a legal valid serial key.

Indeed, I've used it to replace a lost OEM install CD for XP home.
It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
As I recall, when you try to install SP3 from Micro$oft, it will detect your current version, and will install SP2 for you if needed.
BTW... It takes much longer to do the SP2 update than it does SP3.

That's quite a good point actually, does Windows update not install what's needed automatically?
