Re: WINDOWS XP Service Pack 1a.



Regardless, the suggestion is to download the stand-alone installer for SP2.
You don't even *want* SP1. If you can't do that directly from your machine,
you'll need to use another machine. Or, order the CD from Microsoft.

First off - you want Service Pack 2 - not 1a. 1a is WAY old - not that
service pack 2 is much better at this point in age - but the security
enhancements alone make it better.

As for the second part of your question, you are connected to the
Internet
or you have a new way of posting I do not understand.
