Default XP Service Pack Three

I heard of this update but have not seen it yet. I have my computer set for automatic updates and have gone to the updates.microsoft.com site and it doesn't prompt me to install it. How do I get it if I want it?

Hello and welcome to PC Help Forum.

Do not uninstall SP2 and make sure your PC/Laptop is fully updated.Just download and install.
Download details: Windows XP SP3 RC2

Well many have had no problems with SP3 RC.This download is SP3 RC2.

I installed SP3 RC on all my machines and after a week had to do a reformat.

I could not access programms on my computers or laptop.I uninstalled SP3 RC and it created even more problems so hence a reformat on all.
