You can get a Windows XP Service pack 2 CD from microsoft for free, from memory it takes a couple of weeks to get. So this would be a start, at least then you wouldn't have to download the service pack.

I have noticed that you can download the updates from the microsoft update site.
Check out this link
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...en/default.asp

Click on "Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems" then choose your OS and choose from the following update menus:

Critical Updates and Service Packs
Multi-Language Features
Recommended Updates

You can then choose which updates you want, add them to your basket, click on browse and tell it where you want to download the updates too and click ACCEPT.

Hope this helps
