Darn it.  That's a bit of a problem.  You see the computer in question runs 
XP and isn't connected to the Internet, so I can't just download SP2.  Is it 
possible to download SP2 on a Vista computer, save it and install it on the 
other one?  Can you even get XP SP2 any more, and if so where?
Thanks,
