RE: windows xp service pack 3

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Jules: To keep this short and to the point, read and complete the steps of
KB949377. Method 3 fixed it for me.

can anyone help me out here with this question:

Loooking on this discussion board, i can see that there are problems with
sp3, however I still decided to go and download it.

BUT when I go to the windows update website to get SP3, it tells me that
infact there are no critical updates to install which means it does not show
service pack 3. I do not understand why as I have service pack 2 installed
and the update was put on windows update this morning. Anyone know why i have
currently denied access to service pack 3? I AM A HOME USER SO THE CONFLICT
ISSUE WITH SP3 DOES NOT AFFECT ME.

Help would be appreciated because at least you guys on this board can
download SP3.
