Guest John Brown Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Anyone know where I can download SP3?..I don't want to run/install it straight away...just want to download the file. Thanks.
Guest JS Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Re: SP3 where to download? More info than you asked for but doing your homework before installing SP3 could save you some headaches later on. I would also create an"Image Backup" of my drive prior to installing SP3 just in case you do have problems. Don't have any Image Backup software: Try "True Image" (has a 15 day trial version available) http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ If you use Zone Alarm Firewall (Free or Paid) then update to the most recent version.
