Download Installer Windows Xp

I currently have Windows XP, Service Pack 2 on my IBM ThinkPad. I tried to follow the recommended instructions on Microsoft's Web site, that is to install it through Windows Update. When I go to the Windows Update page and click the 'Custom' button, it says 'The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view.

The options provided below might help you solve the problem.' [Error number: 0x80244019] I suspect that this is because I am currently running Windows XP SP2; I'm not allowed to update because I haven't updated yet. The second 'advanced' option is to install it 'manually'.

This takes me to a page entitled 'Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers'. The title was somewhat discouraging, but I was going to get it anyway, but when I scrolled down the page, I read in the description: ' DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER'. I simply can't ignore a message written in all caps and bolded!

Anyway, could anyone tell me why • The Windows Update version of XP SP3 is, in Microsoft's words, 'more appropriate', and • if it's not appropriate for my single installation on my single-user ThinkPad, then what should I do? Thanks, Thomas.
