[Guest dgbrehm]

So whats the deal.

Then an ACCESS DENIED

 

Then had to uninstall all the new ones and reinstall the old one, so I

Re: service pak 3

 

They did not"send it"to you..........unless you did something to make

Windows Update see the SP3 RC2.

I use Windows Update and I do not see any SP3 RC2.

IF I run the script from Microsoft that allows Windows Update to"see"the SP3

then I would be able to download it IF I wanted.

It's not there to see in windows update unless windows update settings are

changed by you.

SOME people did - not all. And they did nothing special to make it

happen. That is not news.

Just because it is not officially out, does not mean that it's not

finished.

Go to Windows Updates | Change Settings | Advanced. Checked it offers:

 

Show beta products and related updates.........

 

Microsoft Update can offer you pre-released "beta" versions of products as

they become available.

 

NOTE: Use beta software at your own risk; it is intended for testing and

evaluation purposes only. Do not install beta software on your primary

computer or production environment.

 

Uncheck it and | Apply Changes.

Re: service pak 3

 

It took me just over an hour for the complete install on my XP2 Home with no

errors. Everything now is working as it was. It even appears to have

slightly increased the overall speed of the system although I have no way of

proving that.

Two guesses:

 

- You didn't get offered Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (you may have been offered

SP3 for something - but maybe not for Windows XP.) Do you have Office 2003

or Office XP (2002)? Both of those products have SP3's and you would not be

the first to have thought they were getting Windows XP SP3 when one of those

two popped up.

 

- You have the advanced option turned on for

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ that states...

 

"Show beta products and related updates

 

Microsoft Update can offer you pre-released "beta" versions of

products as they become available.

 

NOTE: Use beta software at your own risk; it is intended for

testing and evaluation purposes only. Do not install beta software

on your primary computer or production environment."

 

However - I can pretty much negate the second option - it does not offer

Windows XP SP3 AFAIK <- but I needed two things. ;-)

If *you* weren't so quick to admonish someone, you probably would have

gotten the post correct the first time. People have other things to do

sometimes other than read all the threads here! You don't know that person's

XP SP3 was made available to those on their mailing list. If for example you

are an IT manager

and on MS mailing list it was made available. There are warnings however. It

is suggested it be installed on

a test computer.

On whose mailing list?

 

We still don't know if OP's referring to WinXP SP3 or...

 

Nevertheless, WinXP SP3 is still in beta.

MS may be sending these to everyone in one of their databasees or randomly

to a percentage to try to broaden the testing base as the product moves

towards release. It still should not be installed on a production or primay

home computer because there is no support from MS Product Support Services

yet. But its all up to the user.
