I have an old PC that, rather annoyingly, requires SP1 for its' network drivers to function. I downloaded the SP3 update to a CD, but it won't run without SP1. Can anyone tell me where to download it?
Try here:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/winxpsp1
File Name
xpsp1a_en_x86.exe
125MB in size (app)
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/help/learn-how-to-install-windows-xp-service-pack-3-sp3In order to install SP3, you must first have Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed. These are also available when you have Automatic Updates turned on.
Your link for SP2 is correct ... full download
The link for SP3 is for how to install it
Here is the full SP3 download link:

Your link to SP1A is the same as posted by Matan
and is not a full download. It downloads an installer
to get the download.
In this, the OP only wants SP1 as for some odd reason, some program he has won't work with SP2 or SP3 .. very odd.
