| | XP SP 1A I have followed at least a dozen links to 'Download SP1a' only to find there is no such option on the linked page. A search of the MicroSoft site gets me the same lack of information. Please, a link that works to the 133MB (not a quick link that later invokes a large download) XP SP1a would be very much appreciated. Thanks! |

| | Re: XP SP 1A Greetings, Any particular reason why you want SP1 instead of 2 or 3? SP1 (or 1a, which is just the same thing without Java) isn't available anymore from the official Microsoft site nor is supported and in fact a lot of applications won't install without at least SP2 (latest IE and Messenger come to mind). Amusingly I just deleted my original copy of the SP1 installation program just a month or so ago too. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "canyncarvr" <canyncarvr@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:A5BEAC07-622A-488D-A4BB-B168BC48B770@xxxxxx Quote: > I have followed at least a dozen links to 'Download SP1a' only to find there > is no such option on the linked page.

| | Re: XP SP 1A SP3 installs all updates right up to approximately April 2008 so why you are looking for something that isn't even supported anymore is weird to say the least. -- Peter Toronto, Canada XP Pro SP3 x 2, Vista Ult SP1, Windows 7 Ult 7000 "canyncarvr" <canyncarvr@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:A5BEAC07-622A-488D-A4BB-B168BC48B770@xxxxxx Quote: >I have followed at least a dozen links to 'Download SP1a' only to find >there > is no such option on the linked page.
