Mel Mel, I got the MS automatic download message regarding SP3 and clicked on the download button but after a short while the message ICON disappeared and thus far nothing has downloaded and that was 2 days ago. I'm not sure what that means but in the past I haven't had any problems with the MS downloads. Perhaps, I'm in the queue for downloading for some time in the future. Harry |

XP Home service pack 3???
Hi!
Has anyone installed this? Any problems? I've done several installations of SP3 on XP Pro systems and will do one with XP Home tonight. The systems varied from fresh installs to ones that had been in service a while. I haven't noticed any problems yet. William |

Mel, I agree...it's weird. However, I have had that happen before and after
a few days, I will get the message to begin the download process. Since SP3 is not a major update and my current XP/SP2 installation is working just fine, I'm not too concerned at the moment. I'll give it a few more days and if nothing happens then I'll go find a site to manually download/install it. Thanks. Harry "MZB" wrote in message ... That's very weird!!!

XP Home service pack 3???
I installed it on my home PC running XP Pro. I see no differences, I guess
that is good and bad. I had no problems, that's good, but I see no improvements, features, or reliability changes either. So, was it worth it, maybe 4 days is not long enough to know. Jere "MZB" wrote in message ... Has anyone installed this? Any problems? Mel |

XP Home service pack 3???
Mel, I attempted to install Service Pack 3 last night -- started it around midnight and went to bed. When I got up this morning, I was informed that the upgrade was successful, and that I only needed to restart my system to complete the upgrade. When I attempted to restart the system, it failed to restart. I finally got it up in "safe mode" and then pondered what to do next. Upon the advice of a local computer repair shop I was advised to uninstall the Service Pack which I did do, but have found that my system is running a bit slower than before. BTW, my system is a Media Center XP which I have been told is an advanced version of XP Pro. Can't verify that, though. Dave |
