I downloaded the 300+ MB SP 3 for XP this morning...it would not install.(kernal error)
Error code...others are getting different error codes than I did.
Upon talking to my TECH, avoid installation at this time...I believe it is
trying to install on the automatic updates...
Beware, installing SP3 can cause you some new grief.

Before installing any service packs, you need to make sure your machine is clean of viruses and spyware. Also, unless it was a download direct from Microsoft, it may not be an official one. Technically, they are still working on SP3. They put out a new "build" (not final) a couple of days ago.
The SP should have an uninstall, or you may have to restore your system to an earlier date.

I was downloading direct from Microsoft...I would have no idea where anyone
would get it anyplace...(???)...
I understand several other people downloaded it and local techs were busy...
one was on a *format* and new install for someone....
so I dodged a bullet.
