Windows XP SP3 (service pack 3) 32-bit download from Microsoft.

Microsoft won't support my pc since it's running XP. They stopped support some time ago.

Thanks. Funny,Ilooked at Majorgeeks before but just didn't see the links.

The above posted link for XP3 will work. However, Windows Update no longer works in order to download other updates due to MS's stopping of support for XP....sort of. Support will be continued for XP another 4 years in agreement with the banking industry and other point of sale uses of XP. A simple registry change in XP will fool Windows Update into thinking you have a POS version of XP. Continued new updates are then available as usual.

You may also need to install MS "Genuine Advantage" program BEFORE you can access or install SP3.. SP3 should install after you have done that.
