Microsoft re-releases XP SP3
Microsoft has re-released Windows XP Service Pack 3 after withdrawing it last week.
Now available from windows update, Microsoft download center and as an iso cd image. The iso is bigger than the network install from the download center which is bigger than the windows update version. Why? We don't know. No news on the Vista service pack.

Re: Microsoft re-releases XP SP3
Tried it, bluescreened after restart, some errors about ACPI and bios updates, luckily had a system backup as I couldn't even get it started in safe mode either, quite a few of my mates have had drastic errors and had to format, ah the smuggness of some one who backed up
 .PC only 12 months old new build at the time with up to date kit. Safety, safety, safety is the by word here, system backup not system restore point.

Re: Microsoft re-releases XP SP3
Phew back to bed after completing download and instal starting at 3.30. Officially download and instal is supposed to take half an hour. There was a gap when I was away from computer and installation put on hold awaiting endorsement of an authority screen.
Truly a massive service pack - surely a new (free) programme would be the better option!!!!! Fingers crossed all seems well BTW anyone remember the versions of Windows 98 were the opening screening proudly displayed the service pack version you were using - reckon I deserve such a screen for XP after this marathon.

Re: Microsoft re-releases XP SP3
Not sure about SP3 Since install which did take ages. I can't have Style XP. It just will not enable, even after update!

Anyone know what, if anything, it fixes or if it makes any real improvements ?
