   If you are running a legitimate version of XP, you don’t need SP2, you can jump right to SP3 as per Microsoft.
   ==========
   Windows XP Service Pack 3
   Release Date: May 6, 2008

   Windows XP Service Pack 3 is a service pack that is cumulative back to the last currently-supported service pack. This means that Windows XP Service Pack 3 contains all the fixes that were included with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). If you have already installed Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), you do not have to install Windows XP SP2.

   Try going directly to the Microsoft website, click on Security and Updates on the right hand side.

   Regarding the pop-ups, these may be caused by spyware. Antispyware and antivirus products differ in what they detect, how they identify malware, and how they remove it. I would recommend running an antispyware application before checking for updates as malware can interfere with security patch downloads. Here are a few for your consideration. All are free.

   SuperAntispyware

   Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating)
   http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/
   Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating)
   http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php
   (These programs can be run in Safe Mode after installation and updating)

   You may also want to install a spyware blocker as well. It should help cut down on the pop-ups.

   Spyware Blocker

   This is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources. It blocks spyware before it installs.
   SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool)

   If all you need is SP2 update and not the XP O/S you can order the CD from Microsoft or use a different computer and download it to a CD or USB storage and then install it on your laptop.

   Google Error number: 0x80248015 and read some of the information. One item I read says to check the time and date on your computer as one possible problem.

   Good Luck
