The latest service pack for Windows XP is Service Pack 3 (SP3). To install Windows XP SP3, you must first have SP1a or SP2 installed. Then click on the Download SP3, under system requirements Do it right the first time, other wise you could end up with all sorts of troubles. |

| 1261741 | 2012-03-03 23:17:00 | Well that's just contradictory and confusing. First they say you must have at least SP1a then they say "Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP Home Edition , Windows XP Professional Edition, Windows XP Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 2" which implies that plain XP without any SP at all is also supported. It has been a long time since I slipstreamed SP3 into my XP CD so I can't actually remember what version I based it from. Now I'm tempted to go and do a test install to see if it complains about a non-SP XP install! |
