It went to install...archived all the old files, installed the new ones,
Then an ACCESS DENIED
Then had to uninstall all the new ones and reinstall the old one, so I
guess I don't get SP3 ??
Any Ideas?
Thanks

Windows Update see the SP3 RC2.
I use Windows Update and I do not see any SP3 RC2.
IF I run the script from Microsoft that allows Windows Update to"see"the SP3
then I would be able to download it IF I wanted.
It's not there to see in windows update unless windows update settings are
changed by you.news:34A2FE2E-A0F0-44C5...@microsoft.com...

SOME people did - not all. And they did nothing special to make it
happen. That is not news.

Just because it is not officially out, does not mean that it's not
finished.

Go to Windows Updates | Change Settings | Advanced. Checked it offers:
Show beta products and related updates.........
Microsoft Update can offer you pre-released "beta" versions of products as
they become available.
NOTE: Use beta software at your own risk; it is intended for testing and
evaluation purposes only. Do not install beta software on your primary
computer or production environment.
Uncheck it and | Apply Changes.

slightly increased the overall speed of the system although I have no way of
proving that.

Two guesses:
- You didn't get offered Microsoft Windows XP SP3 (you may have been offered
SP3 for something - but maybe not for Windows XP.) Do you have Office 2003
or Office XP (2002)? Both of those products have SP3's and you would not be
the first to have thought they were getting Windows XP SP3 when one of those
two popped up.
- You have the advanced option turned on for
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ that states...
"Show beta products and related updates
Microsoft Update can offer you pre-released "beta" versions of
products as they become available.
NOTE: Use beta software at your own risk; it is intended for
testing and evaluation purposes only. Do not install beta software
on your primary computer or production environment."
However - I can pretty much negate the second option - it does not offer
Windows XP SP3 AFAIK <- but I needed two things. ;-)

to a percentage to try to broaden the testing base as the product moves
towards release. It still should not be installed on a production or primay
home computer because there is no support from MS Product Support Services
yet. But its all up to the user.

report a 5% to 10% increase in performance. I think that is largly

I think I can clear this up. I received an email from Dave Brehm with a
screenshot. While I will not attach binaries - I have no problem putting it
up on Google. ;-)

As you can see, Dave Brehm was offered Windows XP SP3 Release Candidate 2
through AU. My guess is that this happened because the registry hack was
applied to the system in order to allow it - but whatever - it was a version
of Windows XP SP3 <-- just obviously not the final (unreleased as of now)
version. ;-)

It is rocket science! Messages in Windows XP.general tend to be more
about windows than Office. Does this help you.

There are enough dummies posting here that the question NEEDED to be

discussion board. I'm looking at all posts from February and see none from
March, so I picked yours, since it was the latest and you are using SP 3. I
installed Sp3 BETA back in January, after a HORRIBLE episode trying to use
iTunes. My comp crashed and I didn't have an SP2 CD to help me correct my
problems. I also noticed that 3 months of Win updates had also failed. I
forget where I saw the SP3 BETA update, BUT, not having the SP2 CD, I chose
the only option I had that wouldn't bitch me about a Product Key.
Since installing SP3 BETA, I havn't noticed any MAJOR problems and NO
slowdown of my comp. About the only thing I have noticed is that sometimes I
don't get all the icons I should have displayed by the clock, in regard to
the programs I am running. Other than that, everything has been fine since
January.
My major concern is about WIN XP Updates for security purposes and if
this BETA product is going to be made FINAL, since Micorsoft is planning on
killing the sale of XP in 3 months.
I hope some of my info has helped you. If you have any NEW info to
enlighten me, PLEASE, contact me.

release. Its possible it has bugs. Thus its understandable that
things are not right. SP2 is the last SP release for PUBLIC use.
SP3 is only for qualified testors.
