What makes you think my comptuer is not ready?
Ive done all possible updates, even the ones that came out yesterday.

I have about 15 computers and none of them are getting sp3 offered via
automatic updates.

I dont beleive anyone was supposed to get sp3 until yesterday unless
it was initiated wtih microsoft updates or download from microsoft.com
or a private wsus server, im scratching my head on what is going on
here. Does anyone else have any input?

I need it to know specifically when sp3 will be download as Ive made a
comptuer program which will fix some registry problems on an image and
allow it to install.

The image being an Intel image loaded onto a computer with an AMD processor, specifically an HP or Compaq computer? If so, that's why it wasn't offered. You need to download the .ISO, burn it to a CD and use that.

I have not been offered SP3 by auto update yet either. If I go to Microsoft update I am offered it. I have XP on about 5 computers here all different hardware and none have been offered it by auto update, just by Microsoft Update.
