Try it this way:
It is best to resolve current issues BEFORE installing SP1.
First check to make sure you have all updated drivers.
You should have at least 1gb free space (Less than half that is needed
for SP1, but if you are that close, you need to start looking for ways
to free space or add another hard drive.)
Check with computer manufacturer to insure compatibility with SP1,
there are a few models where the company has said wait while the
manufacturer implements a fix.
If you have HP or Compaq computer contact them before installing SP1:

tml#P1_65
Download the Network Installation from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/
Be sure to get the 32bit version. (Windows XP Home and Pro)
DSL takes about 20 minutes, if you do not have high speed access, get
a friend to D/L SP1 for you.
Then burn it to a CD and keep for the future.
If possible run Ad-Aware and delete spyware:

Perform Disk Cleanup (all boxes checked except Compress old files)
Perform Disk Defragmentation.
Ensure correct date and time.
When you are ready:
Create a Restore Point in System Restore
Go to MSCONFIG, uncheck all in Start-up tab.
Reboot the computer, disable ALL unnecessary applications including
antivirus.
Install SP1 by double clicking on it, follow the prompts.
After SP1 install is completed, reboot, defrag.
