Hi,
You can slipstream the SP3 to the XP for the other PCs and try ti install
SP2 for the old PC and set the update to" Notify you but don't download the
updates". This way you will not be having SP3 installed on the Old Computer.

I suppose I can update the win xp to sp3. However, is there another way where
if we do not want to update till sp3 (been old computer and worried it may
have problems with drivers etc). Take for example for my own pc, when I do a
freshinstallation, its sp2 and plus update using custom>all other updates
excluding sp3 (the last option under custom). Will try your option next time
and thanks for your response.
BTW, all the while using IE and not FF

Thanks and may be I re-pharse my question.
If one pc is only xpsp1, how can I use another computer to downloads all the
necessary updates, sp etc by using another pc (because sp1 pc is using the
slow connection). Thanks

Maybe the page is blank due to the security settings in IE being set to
high.

TOOLS | INTERNET OPTIONS | SECURITY tab

Highlight INTERNET & click DEFAULT

Stopping IE 7 & SP 3 follow these instructions:

Make this into a registry file:

Open notepad & paste in the lines between the dashes but not the dashes
themselves:

File | SAVE AS | [choose a filename] & add '.reg' to the end of the filename

In the FILE TYPES, choose ALL FILES
Click the SAVE button

When I click to the link above, its a blank page and there is the word
"done" near the 'start' or bottom left hand corner.
Why can't I see the page ? What I want to do is to download all the
updates
after win XP sp1, so that my niephew can install it after he does his
Recovery from OEM cd. They are using the slow connection. Thanks for your
help.
