Guest franktee Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Hi All I have noticed that after successfully installing SP3, almost all the hotfixes listed in add/remove program were gone. I'm not sure if they have replaced by the SP3 or if I have, somehow, mistakenly deleted them. Thanks for any helpful response Winxp Pro MCE

That's normal. > I'm not sure if they have replaced by the SP3 or if I have, somehow, > mistakenly deleted them. SP3 has those patches already. You will start seeing more patches down the road when post SP3 fixes are released.
