getting sp1 without windows update

[Guy999]

Hi,

I'm using a network computer at work on adsl and dial up on home computer. At work I'm trying to download the normal, not network xp pro sp1 but windows update keeps choosing the network version as my work computer is on a network. Is there anyway to download the normal installation without going via windows update?

I'm after the offical sp, rather than the leaked one

Thanks

Just take the network version. That's what you want. Its the full thing, although according to some reports I've seen, quite a few manufacturers are holding off from including SP1 with new machines. Sony aren't going to ship with XP till next year. They feel it isn't really worth it. Scotsdude

Not had a chance yet. Place I'm at is currently doing a major infrastructare change (finally getting rid of all the crappy 9x machines & moving to 2K) so I've been a bit busy. Hopefully gonna get to it later on today or tomorrow. Will let you know.
