Where I Download Service Pack 3?
Mar 19, 2010I have a retail version of Windows XP Pro without any service packs. Where can I download SP3? I looked at Microsoft's website but it is way to confusing. I think I downloaded SP3 but it said it was meant for IT professionals to be used on a network.

Jun 1, 2006I am running Windows XP on an E-machines T2385. I had previously loaded the MS Plus! Superpack for XP so that I could utilize Media Player 10 and Movie Maker 2. After several unrelated problems I had to perform a system restore, which was successful. I recently tried to load the Plus! software again and experienced some permissions problems. I was advised by MS to download and use download the Microsoft Installer Clean-up Utility. I was then able to load Disk "1" of the Plus! XP Superpack with no problem. In attempting to load Disk "2" (Digital Media version; w/Media Player 10 and Movie Maker 2 w/ add-ons) I was again prompted to download Movie maker 2 from the internet. Once again it was only available as a download WITH Service Pack 2. I attempted to download SP2, and this time it appeared to proceed smoothly. However, once I got about half way through (as indicated by the status bar) I received the following message pop-up:
"Service Pack 2 Download: Access Denied. OK."
I clicked OK and the following pop-up appeared:
"Service Pack 2 Set-Up Error: Service Pack 2 installation did not complete. Select 'OK' to undo the changes that have been made. OK"
I clicked OK, and a pop-up indicated that various components of the SP2 set-up were being undone, and files erased and deleted. At the conclusion of the removal of SP2 files I received the following pop-up:
"Service Pack 2 Set-up Error: Service Pack 2 installation did not complete. Windows XP has been partially updated and may not work properly."
I was then prompted to restart my computer to put any of the changes into effect.
window indicating that a critical update was available. I'm not certain if the update was simply the latest and greatest or somehow related to the problem at hand... but then when I click on the download option/update referenced it proceeds to a point and then gives me an error message stating that certain files needed to be updated before the download could be successful.
This is becoming frustrating. I would think that downloading SP2 with WXP would be an easy thing to do... but apparently not. Please help! Thanks...
Cannot Download Service Pack 3 - Cpu Usage Only Around 2 Or 3 %
Jul 19, 2009when I try to hibernate the machine if any programs are running it will say I don't have enough memory (I have 2GB in a Gateway 506GR, Pentium 4, 3400 Mhz running XP Home Edition). I run NOD32 antivirus.
The machine seems like it is running hard all the time but the CPU usage is usually only around 2 or 3 %. I'm thinking about putting in a larger hard drive and starting over completely. I backup pretty well (although not always often enough)

Oct 26, 2009I just installed Windows XP Pro onto a band new drive. Installed the drivers and the antivirus. Next I went to get widows updates. I went to express because I was in a hurry. It installed service pack 2. Now it will not go into windows in any form. I have tried safe mode and regular mode. It gets to the XP loading screen in normal mode then reboots. In safe mode it runs through the list of files that it loads then reboots. Is my only way to reinstall windows?? Ihave had a fit to try to get into this machine. I hate to start from scratch again.

Dec 31, 2006I went through Microsoft Update to get the latest updates for a PC that only has SP1 installed (and was missing 50 Critical Updates to boot). After I installed the 50 CUs the next time I logged into Microsoft Update I was prompted to download SP2. Everything went well until the Registry backup portion of the SP2 installation routine.
About 6 registry entries couldn't be backed up. I ignored them and tried to proceed but SP2 eventually came to a stop where my only option was to choose 'OK' and it began to undo whatever changes it had done.
I shut down every startup item using CodeStuff's Starter prior to this update. There is no AV running or anything else. Microsoft Update didn't work originally so I reregistered a couple of .dlls

Jul 22, 2005I recently had to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition on my machine because I was complacent and did not keep up on my updates. As a result, my machine as riddled with worms, trojans, etc. So, I used a Win 98 boot disk and deleted the partition and installed a fresh XP. I ordered Service Pack 2 and installed that along with Norman Antivirus. However, I still need to get up to speed from SVC Pack2. Any suggestions on where I can find these updates so I can download them?I won't be using my machine as I don't want to risk it. In other words, that page where you go and your machine is scanned for applicable updates won't work because I'll be using someone else's machine. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me exactly where to go and I'll download them onto my jumpdrive.

Jul 18, 2005The Service pack starts out ok, then a little way into the process it says "cannot back up update. Access is denied": with options to retry, abort or ignore. The only real option is to ignore, and it carries on. About 5 mins later the whole process aborts saying sp 2 has not installed. press ok to undo what its done, and after its done that, it says windows has been partially updated, and may not work correctly

Jul 25, 2010I did a full HP system restore and the Computer guy who came to my house installed the Service Pack 3, the latest version. I used to have Service Pack 1. I have had quite a few problems since then because of the full system restore and having to re-install alot of my programs, etc. But anyway I noticed today, that down in my system tray (or whatever you call it) on the bottom right of my computer where all the little icons are, there is this Microsoft Updates Automatic Updater with the yellow shield and it said that an update ready to install so I tried installing it. And this is what it said:
Automatic Updates Some updates could not be installed The following updates were not installed: Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86 ....SO- that seems like a conflict since my computer had Service Pack 3 and the Microsoft Updates is trying to install this Service Pack 1 thing. What should I do? Do I have to get it all in sync somehow and is this messing up things on my computer? Also does this mean I am missing out on all the correct updates for my computer?

Aug 30, 2008My Windows Update was set to download updates, and then notify me to install. Well, I have Windows Service Pack 3 "downloaded," but not installed, yet. And whenever I shut down my XP Professional system it asks me whether I want to install it. I have decided that I want to wait a month or so before installing it, so how do I remove it from my system. By the way, I went ahead a changed the setting at the Windows Update site so it now notifies me of any updates, but it does not download it to my system....but, as I said above, what I want to do is get rid of the download on my system
