I have Windows XP Professional install in my computer.
I download the SP2 and I cannot install it. I extract the files
to check everything from it and nothing happens. The size
of the file is around 260 MB.
How can I get it the real SP2? And how can I find a
"Windows Genuine Advange" for free? Well, anything
you can answer could be helpful. Please help me.

It sounds like you either don't have a genuine copy of Windows, or you do have a genuine copy but Microsoft's overzealous copy protection software thinks its fake.
My recomendation would be to screw Gates and go over to Linux, but if you really want SP2....
You need to call Microsoft and make sure your copy of Windows is properly registered. Once it is, the Service Pack should be able to be installed. If its already properly registered, then try turning on automatic updates and allowing it to instal automatically.

Activate Automatic updates prom control panel or enter www.microsoft .com and download it. Update directly without using that file wich is probably designed for corporate deployment. Windows Genuine Advantage IS free if you have legal licence. Check it out on www.microsoft.com.
