well,phoning microsoft wont work for 3 reasons that i can think of .i am too far ,egypt is not on the "suport" map of microsoft ,and the 3rd well.... lets just say they wouldnt send the cd if they know it !!!

just do updates.microsoft.com - it'll scan, see if u have it, if not u can d/l from there, itt be on the list of needed updates if u dont have it

if i do that,ill have to download it on one go .i was planning on using a download manager to download it over a long period of time (specially when i am at the forums) .i tried looking manually at microsofts site and using search engines but the closest ive come to is the release candidate 1 of sp2
