Need Help

For some reason I can not update to windows vista SP1 with windows
update; therefore, I decided to download SP1. I download SP1 64bet and
my PC did not support it. Then, I downloaded the 32bet. Unfortunately
both of them did not work. I found out that my system is X86-based PC.
So now I have no idea what to do. Can some one help please.

System:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

Besides starting two separate threads on the same problem you first
need to upgrade from XP to Vista in order to install any Vista service
packs! You were trying to install updates intended for Vista while
running an older version of Windows which simply won't work.

Why in the world would you expect a Service Pack for Vista to
install on a WinXP machine? Obviously, as it's name makes abundantly
clear, Vista's Service Pack 1 is intended to be installed on computers
running Vista. IT couldn't possibly be expected to install on any other
operating system

If you want Vista SP1, you'll first have to replace the WinXP with
Vista.
