Be specific as to manufacturer, name of product and version, please. Was there something keeping you from doing it or was this a clean installation you had to do for some reason and you were just getting that new clean installation up to date?
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Because I have heard horror stories of how difficult it is and the problems that can arise from installing Service Pack 3 I have not done so. Given how long ago Windows XP SP3 was released, having not done it by now just because of some 'rumors' is unwise at best.
I follow a procedure, have suggested this procedure many times over and there are other such procedures some I even link to in my own procedure and it not only gets the machines updated - but usually improves performance and stability of the machine overall. Much of what I suggest should probably be done to ANY machine - even those fully patched and secured - on occassion in terms of Windows XP machines.
What I am saying, in short, is that you should probably do the following every so often no matter what - this is not specific to just installing SP3 for Windows XP and - given how many years have passed since the release of SP3 and how many updates after it depending on it Chancing some repetative tasks from the above links - I would suggest systematically going through the following in the given order:.
Download, install, run, update and perform full system scans with the following two applications:. Removing everything they find. Rebooting when needed. You can uninstall one or both when done. Then perform an online scan with the eSet Online Scanner. You may wish to free up some disk space will also aid in getting rid of things you do not utilize by going through these steps:. If you are comfortable with the stability of your system, you can delete the uninstall files for the patches that Windows XP has installed You can run Disk Cleanup - built into Windows XP - to erase all but your latest restore point and cleanup even more "loose files"..
