Is there an installer for sp 3 that can be downloaded other than through the windows update page? I have a very old original windows xp installation, and the windows update page says my copy of windows is not genuine. When i attempt to install service pack 2, the update says my product key is invalid. According to what the web site is saying, i'll have to buy windows all over again.
