Windows XP Service Pack 2

Update Software Before Installing

SUMMARY: Update key software before installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 to help ensure a smooth upgrade.

Before installing Windows XP Service Pack 2, if you are running any of the following types of software packages, you should check your software manufacturers' websites for possible updates you should install before upgrading your operating system:
