Re: Is there SP2 or SP3 in my computer?

So, will risk the upgrade. If anything fails then will reinstall Windows. From now on I will never accept any online update from MS, as I did for my Toshiba laptop.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada.

I have had very bad experiences with MS support in the past.
Besides since the failed MediaPlayer update (occurred yesterday) I have noted that online MS update no longer works. I tried MP again. The update downloads and try to install but fails.

Another question: Should I risk another SP3 update? I have downloaded WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe but I'm not sure if reinstalling is a good idea or not.
