I like Gerry best when he's in my killfile.

He's not a bad sort, he's just boring as hell and is always asking for
an interminable list of reports that others - who appear to be a lot
more qualified than he is - do NOT need to help someone.

How to obtain the latest Windows XP service pack
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322389

If the computer only has SP1 installed you cannot directly update to SP3.
The person you were advising clearly had something less than SP2 and your
advice failed to take this properly into account.

This is what you said "You do NOT have to download SP2 before SP3."
You told the other person that having no idea what version of
Windows XP was installed! In my book that is foolish! Knowing you
from previous posts you will still not comprehend what is being
pointed out. --

That is not what you originally said! Bluster does not win

I did! Your statement of fact is not necessarily true. Your
understanding clearly does not match that of the others who have
answered the question correctly.

Did you bother to read what others had to say before you posted
your potentially misleading advice? You have no idea where jb
is starting from! --
