Just to stick in my unwanted nose and add to Shenan's capable
explanation: Microsoft recommends having SP2 installed, although SP3 will install just fine over SP1a. Why then the recommendation? It's less to install all at one time, which improves the chances for a successful result. No one ever destroyed their computer by being conservative. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Shenan Stanley wrote: jb wrote: i am unable to download service pack 2 for windows xp and i know that i must before i download sevice pack 3. i cannot use my new ipod without getting this done Thomas Wendell wrote: No, you DON'T need SP2 to install SP3.

understanding clearly does not match that of the others who have answered the question correctly. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown wrote: Read my response.

Ridiculous. I have downloaded SP3 on several machines that only had SP1A.

That is not what you originally said! Bluster does not win arguments.

This is what you said "You do NOT have to download SP2 before SP3." You
told the other person that having no idea what version of Windows XP was installed! In my book that is foolish! Knowing you from previous posts you will still not comprehend what is being pointed out. -- Gerry ~~~~ FCA Stourport, England Enquire, plan and execute ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unknown wrote: You simply can't read.

understand? "Gerry" wrote in message ... This is what you said "You do NOT have to download SP2 before SP3." You told the other person that having no idea what version of Windows XP was installed!
