crockett Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 SP3 is finally on Windows Update again. If you run Windows Update, the Service Pack should be automatically offered. If it is not, you might find some solution here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950717 For those who want to download the standalone version, please look here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeWill Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 If the SP3 was not offered on Microsoft Update site means that I have the latest Service Pack already installed? In the System Properties window, General tab it is shown as following: System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3. v.3311 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBrown Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I should have noted at the bottom of my previous message, after reading through some IT forums, there still appears to be 'some' people who have tried to installed this latest Windows XP Service Pack 3 and consequently caused their Windows operating system to crash or not boot up correctly. Others have reported everything working fine. As for me, I'm going to leave it a week or so to see what comes up in the IT news before committing to SP3. chôhk dee.

regedit Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Before installing SP3 is there any benefit to uninstalling all those updates that Windows Update has installed since SP2 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Before installing SP3 is there any benefit to uninstalling all those updates that Windows Update has installed since SP2 ? As far as I understand it, The SP3 installer will look at what updates are already on your Win XP installation, and install accordingly. So you don't have to uninstall any updates since SP2 before installing SP3.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
