Windows Update on Dial Up

alanrowell

A friend has an XP computer on dial up & the last updates they applied were for SP2.

How can my friend get subsequent updates without having to spend several hours connected to the internet.

I do have a broadband connection but as friend's computer is 100 miles away, using my broadband link directly isn't an option.

intel

Well there are no SP3 disks as microsoft hasnt released it.

Try this though and send a disk. http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp2_cd.htm

But that process seems to be intended fo a new PC, not for updating an existing system but it looks as if I've found my answer
