Service Pack 3 upgrades have auto come to my computer. It is a Windows XP
medica centre. I don't use the media centre it is just the system I have at
work. I am sure that Service Pack 2 is already on. It says that I need to
back up my computer before installing service pack 3. I have read some stuff
on this and it all seems too hard (amature). 1. Is it necessary to instal
service pack 3 and why (I do use internet). I don't know how to fully back
up the computer but always back up stuff I am working on. 2. If things go
wrong after installation where do i go onthe computer to remove it and what
do I look for to remove it.
3. Can I just set a restore point before installing and let the install run
auto?
Mostly I rely on the trustworthiness of Microsoft and when they auto update
it has 99% been fine. Is it safe to to the same here.
Sorry it is a lot in one go but I am reluctant to download auto when there
is a warning to backup first. This warning is not usual.
PS Can anyone tell me where these back ups actually go to on the system so
I can find it if I have to delete it. thanks
Can anyone please advise.
