I understand that microsoft no services sp1. I had windows sp1 and it wouldn't update. So I fortunately had a newer version with sp2 and installed it and it updated ok.

It reads like he did. If you want the SP2 upgrade file, this is the one to get: WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe
It a self-installer package. Just dl from a safe source and dclick to run. Of course, you will have ascertained that your computer is virus/malware free beforehand....
