The Windows XP Service Pack 3 will be released to the public tomorrow. A lot of users have already downloaded the service pack from various locations like download portals and the Bittorrent P2P network. Many users however were very cautious and decided to wait until the service pack would be available through official Microsoft channels.

Available are service pack releases for various languages. All for 32-bit systems only though. The languages that are available are English, German, Russian, French, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. All downloads are directly from Windows Updates. If you have been wary before downloading the service pack there is nothing more to fear by using this official download.
Microsoft removed some downloads from its Support website. The Service Pack 3 for Windows XP from the company's Microsoft Update Catalog website. Download speed is fine.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 direct downloads The Service Pack 3 for Windows XP has finally been added again to Windows Update and the Microsoft website and every user has the opportunity to download and install it. The ISO is provided for system administrators who have to distribute the Service Pack to several computers, and home users who want to update more than one system, for instance their own and their parent's computer. There should not be a problem however to distribute the executable version of the service pack to multiple computers as well as long as they are all using the same language version. You need to burn the ISO images to CD or DVD first, or mount them, while you can execute the executable files directly on the PC that requires updating. Network administrators may want to check out the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package that Microsoft made available, which allows the updating of multiple computers on a network.
You can also order Windows XP Service Pack 3 DVDs from Microsoft. Information about the procedure are available here. I never liked Windows Update and prefer to download the patches, which includes the Service Pack 3, as a direct download so that I can burn it once on a CD or DVD and distribute it to every computer that needs the update. Block installation of Windows XP SP3 Several users encounter problems and issues during and after installation of the two new Windows service packs that Microsoft released earlier this year. Both service packs will be automatically downloaded later this year to computers that have automatic updates enabled, which could prove disastrous for companies who cannot afford that they computers stop working after the update. A solution is to disable automatic updates, but that's probably not a preferred solution by many as well as it interferes with regular patches. The easiest way to block the automatic download and installation of both Windows XP Service Pack 3 and Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is a Registry key that has to be added to the Registry.
This key prevents the installation for twelve months. The update problems should be sorted out by that time, and if they have not been it is still possible to disable automatic updates. To add the entry to the Registry do the following.
Press Windows R, type regedit, hit enter. The Registry opens and we need to navigate to the key HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Policies Microsoft Windows WindowsUpdate and create a new DWORD named DoNotAllowSP there. The value of the DWORD has to be set to 1.
An alternative would be to create a new text document, paste the following three lines into it and rename the document to block.reg afterwards. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 HKEYLOCALMACHINE SOFTWARE Policies Microsoft Windows WindowsUpdate 'DoNotAllowSP'=dword:00000001 A double-click creates the new Registry key automatically. The block can be removed by either deleting the Registry key again or by setting the dword value to 0 instead. Steps to take before you install Windows XP Service Pack 3 Microsoft released a Knowledge Base article detailing the steps that users should take before installing the latest Service Pack for Windows XP. The article itself is divided into two parts with the first part detailing the steps to take before installing Service Pack 3 while the second part lists possible error messages and problems users can run into when installing it.
Suggests a minimum hard drive space of 1500 Megabytes on the system partition when installing the Service Pack from the Microsoft Download Center or 1100 Megabytes when installing it from a shared network drive. The page lists two updates that, when installed, will make the installation of the Service Pack fail. Those updates are the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit and Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) 6.0 MUI pack (Update 925877 for Windows XP). If you have installed one or both you need to uninstall them to install the Service Pack.
Last but not least it is required to make sure that security software like antivirus applications do not interfere when installing the Service Pack. The page lists the most common error messages that user receive when updating Windows XP to Service Pack 3, among them are:. You do not have enough free disk space on%SystemDrive% to install Service Pack 3.
You do not have enough free disk space on%SystemDrive% to archive the uninstall files. Service Pack 3 setup error. Access is denied.
You do not have permission to update Windows XP. Digital Signature Not Found. Setup could not verify the integrity of the file Update.inf. Failed to install catalog files. The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing.
Service Pack 1 Setup could not verify the integrity of the file. Internal Error. This Service Pack requires the machine to be on AC Power before setup starts. Service Pack 3 installation did not complete. Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 cannot be applied to Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs. Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 cannot be applied to Windows Embedded for Point of Service.
Setup has detected that another update is in progress. The blogs and forums are full of users who report problems after trying to upgrade Windows XP to Service Pack 3. The world is mine hatsune miku mp3 free download. Don't install IE7 before Windows XP SP3 The Windows XP Service Pack 3 is available again and many users have already made the switch to protect their system with the latest security updates. If you have installed Internet Explorer 7 before updating the system to the third Service Pack and decided to uninstall it again you might have noticed that the option to uninstall the browser is grayed out and therefore not available on the system anymore.
The for this behavior is that the system would revert back to an older version of Internet Explorer 6 that would not contain the patches applied by the Service Pack. The Windows XP Service Pack 3 updates the version of Internet Explorer installed on the system during installation of the Service Pack. The only possible way to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 that has been installed before installing Service Pack 3 is to uninstall the Service Pack first and then Internet Explorer 7. Microsoft suggests that users of IE6 should update their system with Service Pack 3 first and install IE7 afterwards. This ensures that the browser can be uninstalled normally.
I'm sure that not many users will run into this problem but some surely will. An alternative would be to switch to another browser like Opera or Firefox if you do not feel like uninstalling the Service Pack to uninstall IE7 is worth it. The third service pack for Microsoft's Windows XP operating system ships with Internet Explorer 6 included. Update: Windows XP users should update the system's native web browser to Internet Explorer 8 if they have not done so already. While there may still be some situations where IE6 or 7 is required, in company networks for instance if Intranet apps only run on IE6 or 7, it is safe to say that this should not be the case for home users. Fix for Restart Bug after installing Windows XP SP3 Users with AMD processors that have been trying to install Windows XP Service Pack 3 might be greeted with a bluescreen error message after rebooting their computer. The error message starts with STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005 and contains the error text SYSTEMTHREADEXCEPTIONNOTHANDLED.
The computer restarts and the bluescreen error is displayed again. This is an endless cycle but thankfully though HP has found out about the cause for this problem and has published a solution to resolve the issue on their website. Service Pack 3 for Windows XP apparently copies an Intel power management driver to the computer that was not there before which is the cause for the restart bug. Things like these can happen but I'm wondering why non of the public beta testers have encountered the error before the update was released officially. You can only use the following information if you use a non-Intel processor and encounter the previously mentioned restart bug after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I'm going to list two possible solutions, one from Microsoft and the other from HP. Cause tonight is the night.
Not quite, tomorrow rather. Less thrilling than Christmas, now that reality brings us back to Earth! Besides what has been here commented, I’d like to evoke this point, which is in my mind not clear: I’ve been told that XP SP3 will also have the advantage of including updates which could have been “missed” by MS Update throughout all manual updates performed ever since XP Install. Is this true, that is, is the fact MS Updates may “miss” updates, should they be very, very few, a possibility? Well, I have by now installed XP SP3 as well. No noticeable speed enhancement.
Maybe, I do say maybe, a somewhat slightly stability improvement (a feeling of greater “smoothness”) but still, I’m aware of imagination’s tricks in such circumstances. I had IE7 as a previous install. I mention this because I’ve read that some have had problems to install IE7 after XP SP3. I’ve even read that any total reinstall of Windows XP should consider installing IE7 before XP SP3. If this is true, it does mean that slipstreaming XP SP3 would be a nonsense (if IE7 is to be in the lot). Any comments on this fact would be appreciated, otherwise that will mean 2 discs to reinstall XP updated: 1- XPSP1+SP2 slipstreamed, 2- IE7 then XP SP3 I love compact installs! I have an HP Media Center PC running XP w/sp2.
I recently had to completely recover my system due to a very nasty xponlinescanner virus. After recovery, I went to the MS update site and installed all the updates available. Everything worked fine until I got to the SP3. After installing SP3 my machine will not boot except in safe mode. I removed the Symantec AV program that is bundled in the XP software and downloaded the SP3 without AV installed, however, I did have the bundled MS firewall installed.
3 Times I’ve tried to update to SP3 and each time with the same results. I ran Ad-Aware, Uniblue Registry Booster 2, ccleaner and still no boot. Fortunately I have my computer completely backed up on both a Free Agent external hard driver as well as a maxtor one touch, so I am not losing any data, however, there certainly seems to be something wrong with the SP3 upgrade by MS. I would recommend not installing it until MS is able to correct it. The same here:( Service Pack 3 from Microsoft = LOOP To: Bill Can you tell me how did you fixed this? I went to the forum you mentioned but I couldn’t find anything there Bill wrote this: Well, Well, Well. What a simple fix when you know what it is start – run – sc config intelppm start= disabled – enter.

Wow, that fixed it. Now sp3 downloaded, installed, and system booted correctly.

I really like this solution because it doesn’t require any fiddling with things, or deleting anything.Thanks to Ben Armstrong on Virtual PC guy’s Weblog. He actually posted this solution in October 2005 (before my computer was even built). @darkkosmos: what’s wrong with IE7?.lots.:Dseriously, some people – mainly web designers/developers – will benefit from having older browsers, so they can create web apps/pages that work well in older browsers. I’ve personally developed a website that looks good in Firefox, Opera and IE7but i never tested it in IE6 and it looks horrible in there.
Basically, older browsers are less likely to support newer CSS and JavaScript statements and whatnot, so they’re ideal for testing websites. It’s a fact that GMail will at least complain in older browsers. Came fast enough at peak time UK, too. “Kev-pple says, July 13th, 2008 get a mac so you dont have to worry about a pice of crap service pack” You severe flame self-censored, the VERY FIRST time I did any systems admin on a Mac I found a bug that research told me required an ‘update’ (akin to a service pack / Windows Update download). This bug required my whole Wireless Access Point to be lowered in security in order to accommodate the Mac, even though it was an obvious function of the software and not hard to predict and design properly in the first release.
Businesses requiring security would not tolerate this level of performance from expensive hardware and supposedly well-designed software. So stop the bullshit Mac-evangelism, it makes you look a retard.
Any and all software requires improvements. The criticism of Microsoft should be reserved for the updates that are out there which are NOT available for general release, and require payment (which you then rely on the MS operative to decide is to be refunded) for a support session just to check they’re correct. That and the huge bugs (P2P Netbios share browsing, on ANY version of Windows, working efficiently, anyone?) that it just refuses to fix. I do hate Microsoft on occasion, and think they’re arrogant SOBs, too.
But two wrongs don’t make a right. As a couple of guys said before, get a mac. It simply works.go take a look if you don’t believe me i’m using it all day long without issues, and i do use windows too, just for the games. The guys who complain about security issues regarding os x, maybe it’s because you don’t know how to use a computer trust me, unix is rock stable go take your shit elsewhere but not here. Usualy the guys who can’t stand up macs are the poor nerds who can’t afford one.maybe that’s why they’re being so repulsive about the technology;) it’s to expensive 4 them:):)) boo ya!
My experience with SP3 is that it is significantly less stable. I have a fair number of installed tools, such as wireshark. But I found that sp3 had a number of problems. Mostly network related:. Blue screens (I haven’t had a blue screen on sp2 in over two years). Network device failure.
My wireless nic (built into my T43) would fail periodically requiring a restart to resolve. Unlike the previous poster, my problems occurred on an open network (not wpa or wep encrypted). Windows mobile sync: the sync would fail periodically.
I’m not saying everyone will have these problems. I am saying that I had these problems. Win XP SP3 is not that good. Although there were no errors during installation, you will notice strange after installation.
Under svchost, include 2 worms. You have to remove all files scattered on your hard disk for these worms. These worms were activated as per schedule under task. XP users will not find any, but vista can see these super hidden files. These task schedules belongs to Windows Defender. You have to remove all the worms first before disabling Windows Defender and deleting the task.
Notice also the memory leak cause by svchost under system. From time to time, windows errors comes out and you need to restart your system.
Although i havent experience any crash on my HDD yet, hopefully the step above will help you. I will post soon for any changes/ updates i will encounter. Your friendly neighborhood, Spidey.

Among many of us i am also using windows XP SP3 on my home computer. I need to Reinstall Windows XP service pack 3, but my CD got misplaced on house shifting. I searched a lot from internet but when i download XP i Encountered with errors. Most of the time server wont completely let me download the copy. I am now fed up with the searching why these websites owners try to make fool. When they wont give the original copy they should not claim for highspeed download or offical version. Please help me to find offical copy of windows xp service pack 3.
If you google 'Windows XP SP3 ISO wayback download' you will come up with some links for an XP SP3 ISO download. Depending on the age of your computer, and if it uses SATA drives- you might need to download the correct drivers and use nLite or a similar program to create a new ISO CD with the drivers you need. I had to use nLite to get my in-the-box XP CD to install on a Panasonic CF-52. Used nLite to create the new ISO on my Win7 machine.
So it's useful for more than just websurfing and processing DNG files. As with anything on the Internet- scan all downloads with a good virus scanner, no matter where you get it. And one of the links that I came across got flagged by Norton 360 after it was burned to the CD. Virus scanners may think the ISO file is clean, then change their mind once on disk.
I have to see if nLite can reconstruct the ISO after the virus-tagged file is eliminated, putting it on an SD card now. Edited by BrianVS, 20 September 2016 - 03:15 PM.

Hope it works, i will also clean it up before using. Just in case anyone hits the XP SP3 ISO on archive.org, NORTON 360 did not like 'DPL1412241.7z' in the OEM subdirectory.
I used nLite (thankyou, BleepingComputer) to unpack the ISO to an SD card, deleted the file, then used nLite to create a new ISO. I have an old Dell Inspiron 8000 that is the test target. It's a good thing my wife is also a computer engineer. My home office looks like the Noah's Ark of computers spanning 20 years and the basement, decorated in Early 80s Digital. No CP/m forum here?
This is just an experiment- I have several original XP CD's from Microsoft and specific computers. Edited by BrianVS, 20 September 2016 - 06:23 PM. My post on the XP service packs is just that; the Service Packs.
As stated in the thread, they're legitimate copies of the original standalone Network Administrator install type, and were archived for many years on good-quality CDs. However; since I received clarification from one of the BC staff here, a few days ago, that XP is now officially considered to be 'abandonware', and that links to any XP stuff on the web is now allowed, I think I'm quite safe in posting this link to a full ISO version of XP Professional, with SP3 ready-installed, the 'POS-ready' hack in place, and auto-activation built-in (no activation key required). I can personally guarantee that this works 100%, and has no hidden 'nasties', as I used it for over a year on an elderly Dell Inspiron laptop, which came with it originally. Don't take any notice of where it says 'Home' edition; it's definitely the Pro version. And it works perfectly.
Just be aware that you do get re-directed 3 or 4 times before you reach the download itself. The only reason I stopped using it was because I finally came to the same conclusion I reached originally, when XP went EOL; that XP was really too much for the hardware on that particular machine, which runs far better with a lightweight Linux distro, like Puppy Linux. This version has been updated with all the necessary SATA drivers, and the WGA auto-activates, too.!
Whichever version you decide to try, let us know how you get on with it, please. If you're feeling like a bit of a rebel, there's also the 'Black' Edition too, which uses the rare Royale 'Noir' theme, along with loads of extra 'goodies'.
I've tried this, as well, and once again can vouch for it's authenticity. You can also install the 'Royale Noir' theme separately onto any XP install. It is such an improvement over the standard blue 'Royale'. Once again, I've used this, and can vouch for it as being genuine. Finally, if you want to spruce your XP up, and give it some flair, I can thoroughly recommend the XP 'PowerToys'. They truly put the 'finishing touch' to what was always a very good OS.especially the 'Desktop Manager', which gives you multiple 'desktops', just like Linux!
And the 'TrueType' one improves the font-rendering enormously. This download contains every single PowerToy ever released for XP, in one single.zip file! Once again, tested, and vouched for, personally. Hope some of that helps.
(Remember, please, that this stuff is totally UNSUPPORTED.so you use it ENTIRELY at your OWN RISK. Follow ALL the usual precautions; download to desktop only, then scan the life out of it, to make sure it's ABSOLUTELY SAFE, before attempting to use it.) Mike.

The 'Cleaned up' XP from archive.org that (Norton did not like )XP is installing; I'm going to pull the hard drive, put it on a USB adapter, and scan it with Norton 360 after the install. A search on that filename shows that I can download it from a Chinese website if I ever need it again.

Generally, a download manager enables downloading of large files or multiples files in one session. Many web browsers, such as Internet Explorer 9, include a download manager. Stand-alone download managers also are available, including the Microsoft Download Manager. If you do not have a download manager installed, and still want to download the file(s) you've chosen, please note:. You may not be able to download multiple files at the same time. In this case, you will have to download the files individually.
(You would have the opportunity to download individual files on the 'Thank you for downloading' page after completing your download.). Files larger than 1 GB may take much longer to download and might not download correctly. You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed. The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems. It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably.
It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed. Microsoft Download Manager is free and available for download now. KB Articles: Security bulletins:.
