XP Service Pack 3 Problems
For those of you thinking of downgrading to service pack 3 for XP, well - there are some problems.
The automatic updates problem: On some computers auto-updates can not install updates after service pack 3 is installed. The updates are downloaded through automatic updates, but can not be installed. If downloaded separately from microsofts website, the updates can be installed fine. Related links: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r206...Service-Pack-3 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20666274 http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...oad-but-c.aspx How, and why this problem is happening, I can not find out. I just updated a computer here at the office and now it can not install updates either. If anyone finds a fix for this, let me know. |

You know what you have to do to install SP2? I click on my installer, and it runs.
Seriously, the fuck is up with this.

Thank you hammock, but that did not work. Automatic updates still will not install.
So I am removing service pack 3 and going back to service pack 2. I have a lady that is waiting on her desktop and I do not have time to play around with this. How can microsoft put out a patch that messes up so much? |

Don't know if any of this will help, but here are a few articles (with links to other sites) on issues of sp3 installation failures and how to address them:
