Installing windows xp service pack 3

The new windows service pack 3 for xp is not difficult to add, it downloads just like any ordinary file and updates just like the rest, the service pack can be found at the following address for download:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/sp3/default.mspx

To begin you must first download the software from the website and then open it in the file that you saved it to. The system will now check your computer for anything that might conflict with the software, your anti-virus software (provided you have any) may also scan the files for anything harmful.

The installation wizard will now take over and ask you if you want to install the service pack. At this point just follow the instructions given in the wizard to start installing the package.

The system may need to reboot before the changes take effect, the service pack will fully support any previous upgrades to the windows software including firewalls, anti-virus etc
