Interesting. Thanks for the tip. In the future, though, could you at least mention what you're posting about. A subject line of "FYI" and a message containing nothing but a URL isn't exactly enlightening. :-) Some links: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Overview (10 Dec 2007) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=68c48dad-bc34-4 0be-8d85-6bb4f56f5110 Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate (18 Dec 2007) (336 MB) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=75ed934c-8423-4 386-ad98-36b124a720aa Release Notes for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (19 Feb 2008) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=60807c3a-8969-4 ddf-beb2-8bfac9ed416b Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate 2 via Windows Update (19 Feb 2008) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=114f3599-12af-4 2b2-aab1-b969a62c68a7 The last appears to contain a CMD file which just adds a registry patch: reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpda te\XPSP3 /f reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpda te\XPSP3 /v RCPreview /t REG_SZ /d 1c667073-b87f-4f52-a479-98c85711d869 /f As an aside: I am always amused when the Microsoft Download site tells me I should install SilverLight, because it works with Firefox, too, and then offers me an .EXE to download.
