706827 2008-09-22 01:59:00 Hi Guys, I have downloaded SP3 -- but how do I check to see if it has installed O.K. ?? There is no sign of it in the 'Updates List' in 'Add and Remove Programs', Cheers Grampsey Grampsey (10603)
706828 2008-09-22 02:04:00 Press the windows key / pause. Under the general tab, it'll say Service pack 3 Speedy Gonzales (78)
706829 2008-09-22 02:10:00 Speedy -- did that but it shows SP2 -- I take it that it didn't install. Grampsey (10603)
706830 2008-09-22 02:13:00 Did you reboot after the install Grampsey? nofam (9009)
706831 2008-09-22 02:16:00 How did you install it? From the windowsupdate site, or manually get the 316 mb file, then install it? Speedy Gonzales (78)
706832 2008-09-22 02:19:00 nofam -- yes I did, although there was no prompt for me to do a restart, which makes me suspect that it didn't install properly. cheers Grampsey Grampsey (10603)
706833 2008-09-22 02:21:00 Speedy -- I went from the "Updates are ready for your computer " icon. Grampsey (10603)
706834 2008-09-22 02:25:00 Open my computer, go to C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution folder

See if there are any errors in the ReportingEvents text file

If there are, copy and paste them here (just the last few lines, it may have a lot of text in it)

Or copy and paste the error codes
