I m trying to avoid the in place update of w2k to solve the error x is not a valid name, the entry name must contain at least one character..etc" does not work. Most postings here indicate that it doesn't work, and it erases all service packs and all tweaks (which I have worked very hard at). If, however, I get desperate, I am going to need to get the entire service packs for W2k on disk, since updating using the windows service from a dialup will lock up the phone line for weeks. I can download to my office desktops easily and burn a disk. SOmeone here surely knows a site.

Thanks a load.
 
How to obtain the latest Windows 2000 service pack

There are links to all Win2000 Service Packs, you need only the latest, the SP4.
There is also link to Update Rollup 1 which includes a lot of post-SP4 hotfixes. You should install it after you install SP4.
