Does anyone from the iboat family know where I can purchase the SP2 disk? I live in Canada and purchased another disk from a fellow in the states a while ago and we both had no problem either sending it here or receiving the money(money order). I do not do ebay so that is out although I guess I could check it. I am a bit chicken to go there. My email ad is malibu4u@axion.net. Tks in advance.

Xcusme/Boatbuoy<br />Xcusme you have mail as well but you can ignore it. I should have looked at the site first that you two mentioned as I didn't know you could get it from Microsoft. Thank you both so very much for your help. I sure appreciate it.

Xcuseme/Boatbuoy...I went to the Microsoft site but have a question for you. Can I use the SP2 Professional on Windows XP Home? Are they both the same?

If you have a decent connection (not dial up) you can download it for free. I found the downloaded version was even more reliable than the CD.<br /><br />I was getting strange system hang ups/delays when I tried to use the CD.<br /><br />Bob

The site is listed above but probably worth noting (since noone has mentioned it yet) that microsoft will mail you the SP2 disk for free.
