Hi Mort,

In order to install SP3, you need either SP1 or SP2 to first be installed,
.

So, if your XP is only at the XP 'Gold' level, first download and install
SP1 and then download and install SP3.

I just reinstalled Windows XP Home on my old computer using the reinstall
disk that came from Dell. (It was totally bogged down and extremely slow).
Checking Properties, I see that no service packs are installed at all.

How can I download and install all 3 service packs (1, 2 and 3) on the
machine?

If I only download SP3 will that also install the others as well?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
