XP Service Pack 1

lukin

I'm running Windows XP on my laptop but I need to install XP Service Pack 1 to connect to the wireless network at college. The laptop is fairly new (only bought last June) so I am wondering if it is already on it?
Service Pack 1 was released a good while ago if I remember correctly.
I can't download Service Pack 1 anyway, all the links I found for it are too slow to d'load from. I have the Service Pack 2 CD at home somewhere, would that be OK instead?

If you bought it new in June it may have service pack two on it already.
Right click on my computer-properties. The service pack level will appear there along with any processor/memory information.
If you havent got it installing SP2 should do no harm and you should in fact install it anyway to patch any holes in the OS.

Yeah, it's got Service Pack 2 on it. That should mean there's no need to install Service Pack 1 so?

Service Packs are accumulative....

So Service Pack 2 does include Service Pack 1.
