This is just a heads up message for people with dial up .If you want to install sp2 and do not want to download it for 8 hours and do not want to wait weeks to have it mailed to you, you can go to any wallmart or computer store such as best buy or circuit city and get it for free. After having problems with downloading this with automatic update I contacted microsoft and they told me this and sure enough it was correct. And FYI , I have a dell,did not update bios or reinstall xp.The install took only 20 minutes and I have no problems at all.
