If you need upgrades to SP3 for win-XP, you may be too late. I rebuilt an old computer a couple weeks ago as it had gotten corrupted and the easiest process was to wipe clean the HD and reinstall windows. I only have a CD with SP2 so have relied on auto-updating to upgrade to SP3. A couple weeks ago that worked fine. My wife wanted her duo-core desktop rebuilt but may have taken too long to save off her favorite files. I got it three days ago and have rebuilt it, but auto-upgrading is not available. The IE-6.0 crashes on opening and needs to upgrade to IE-8.0 but first one has to have SP3. Well, I went exploring on MS website and found SP3 upgrades for professionals (316 MB) so hoping it will still download. You used to be able to get a CD with SP3 but it is NLA. If you were planning to upgrade your old XP computer before they stop support -- well -- it may already be too late? How's the saying go?
