Gary,
I thought we were done with this thread, so I will only make this
"one-more" comment.
I discovered this on my own and also had many helpful replies, mostly
pointing this out. My wife successfully did the manual upgrades and
the computer-in-question is running happily.
The computer I use for ham radio is a near-clone to hers and was
rebuilt about a year ago and running fine. Since I have so many
installed applications I am not eager to re-build at this time. I
did go thru all the computers and update drivers.
My approach will be to save off SP3+132 upgrades and copy of IE-8
onto a flash drive (which is also going to archive my HD data files)
for future re-build. That will likely be the point that I decide to
cut internet connection from this computer. I have a newer laptop
running win-8 which may see migration of my internet activities and
e-mail (but is not convenient for ham radio apps and external
accessories that I run - no PCI buss).
PS: My wife decided to buy a new Laptop with i7 processor and 8GB
memory and was able to get it installed with win-7. She is happy
with it, so we will likely dispose of the computer we just re-built
for her. At least it will run fine for whomever gets it!

It's a shame how much this thread has drifted off course yet retains the
original subject line.
Ed, all Windows XP service packs are available for free download direct from
Microsoft's support website. I often build my own so years ago I started
archiving the service packs along with other updates, plugins, and add-ons.
A simple search from Google or other similar search engines will find you
the full version of sp3. Here's a link:
