There is no Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. The latest
Service Pack for Windows XP is Service Pack 2.

Visit the Windows Updates web site to obtain the latest
critical updates.

There is a Windows XP SP2 and an Office XP SP3 - are you trying to update
Windows or Office? The former, go to windowsupdate.com, the latter
officeupdate.com

I have recieved Service Pack 3 but when I try to install it keeps asking for
the disc containing Outlook 2002. I do not have this disc, only a disk for
HP Pocet PC which includes Outlook 2002. How do I either install from this
or Kill SP 3?

There isn't a Service Pack 3 for Windows XP.

Thanks
I realised that it is not for XP but for Outlook 2002.
What I need to know is how to remove it from my computer as it keeps coming
up and trying to install. It cannot find Outlook 2002 which is on the
software disk for my Pocket PC.

This is coming up as the little yellow shield in the systray?
If so, choose custom install, then uncheck the offending update to
indicate that you do not want it, and continue - it should then allow you
to choose something like "never ask again" for that update.
