Roger,
If you look for the "download" button, it will let you download the file.
You don't need to go to "Windows Update".

Hi Andrew
The installation for professionals is only for multiple computers and
it sent me to Windows Update. That will only install onto the machine
that is connected to the site, which is mine. I realise now I can't
connect to the net with my wife's machine until I get an operating
system and I can't get that until I have SP2. I'm lost now.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Hi All
The wife's laptop has just died so today a new one arrived but
without any operating system installed. I have a legit copy of XP
Home I've not used so I loaded that. At the end of the installation
it asked for the SP2 disc. I haven't got one. She doesn't intend to
have internet connection using mine for that. I've tried to take it
off my machine but it seems when my system is updated no file is
left on Downloads or anywhere I can find. I've tried to download a
copy but again it will install it to my machine but allow me a
copy. Short of connecting my wife's machine to the net just for the
download of the application I can't see any other way forward.
Unless someone here can help me please. As she doesn't intend to
use the machine on the net she doesn't need SP2 but it will not
allow me to proceed without it.
