    I have an old (2003) laptop that I trying to put back in service. I need to
    download sp 2 but can't figure out how to do it. Windows update only seems
    to offer sp3 but I can't download it until I have sp2. Any ideas?

    Now is a great time to point you to one of the easiest ways to find
    information on problems you may be having and solutions others have found:

    Search using Google!

    (How-to:     )


    You do not need SP2 to install SP3. You do need *at least* SP1 installed.
    So if you have SP1 installed - just install SP3 and then all post-SP3
    patches.

    Windows XP SP1a for IT Professionals (it works for anyone really)


    Windows XP SP2 for IT Professionals (it works for anyone really)


    Windows XP Service Pack 3 - ISO-9660 CD Image File


    Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for
    IT Professionals and Developers (works just as well for you.)
