Anyone out there know where I can get a copy of WinXP Service Pack 1, not 1A? I need a copy for any older machine.
Thanks,

Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

The only difference between the two is the first one had MS Virtual Machine included. But with the Sun court action, MS had to remove the use of it. Either version that you can get you hands on should work for ANY machine.

Kathy, Found this link: http://www.idilis.ro/downloads/cats.php?catid=3%5B/url%5D. XP SP1 is about halfway down the page. BUT, I know nothing about the site. NOTE: It is a Romanian site so the service pack may not be English.
