Direct download of Windows XP SP2? (Or fix for system restore)

Is there anyway to do a direct download of the 90+ MB file required to install Windows XP SP2?

My system restore function doesn't any more (it crashes) and I'm hoping that reinstalling SP2 will correct the problem. Unfortunately, I can't find any way to DL it direct from Microsoft. Anyone have any ideas?

Preemptive strike: I've already installed it a while ago so Windows Update doesn't give me the option to do so any more. And I'm scared of running the "uninstall" function on it.

Better still would be if someone who's had system restore crash & burn just trying to start the screen and managed to fix this would post what they did.

Thanks.

Papi: Thanks, I was looking for something like that.

SC: Doh! I spent my time searching the MS site, not the 3000AD forum And come to think of it I was a contributor on that 3000AD thread too...

General public: I take it no one has had system restore bomb on them like I have?
