Answer Hi Jackie,
Does the computer have the system requirements for SP2?
Review System Requirements for SP2
To find detailed information about your system, click Start, click Run, and type: msinfo32 . The first system requirement for SP2 is that you already have a version of Windows XP installed. Then you also need the following:
•CD-ROM drive or an Internet connection
•At least a 233 MHz processor and at least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM
•At least 1.8 gigabytes (GB) of available hard drive space
Service Pack 2 applies to all 32-bit editions of Windows XP, including Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional Edition, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and Windows XP Media Center Edition. It does not apply to the 64-bit Edition of Windows XP. The same media or update location is used to update all supported editions of Windows XP.
