Buy an XP SP3 CD?
MS folks,
I have a dialup connection and I not about to tie up the phone line all night to download SP3. Odds of a successful download are not too good anyway in view of my noisey phone line. Is there any way to buy an SP3 CD from Microsoft? Thanks for listening.

Buy an XP SP3 CD?
I don't think there is a CD available from MS at this time.
But if you have friend with a high speed connection he or she can download and create a CD. ISO image - used to create install CD: (You or your friend must have CD burning software that can use an ISO as source) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en JS "Mike Donnelly" wrote in message ...

Thanks for listening. http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_get_wind...sp3_on_cd.html The jist of the above article is: quote In the past Microsoft has made actual physical CDs available for service packs. There is a rumor - and I must stress it's only a rumor - that they don't plan to for SP3. If that's their plan, I personally expect them to change their minds after some amount of consumer backlash. As you've pointed out, downloading SP3 over a dialup connection is a problem; a big problem. quote You're guess is as good as others. If you have a friend with Hi-speed, just have them download it, burn a CD and mail / give it to you.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w...7c953a761.aspx If you scroll down to where it says Order the Windows XP Service Pack 3 CD and click on North America, you're taken to this page. Windows XP Service Pack 3 CD https://om2.one.microsoft.com/opa/Va...caleCode=en-us I don't need a CD so I can't give you any feedback on ordering or how long it will take to arrive. Good luck Nepatsfan

Hi Shenan Stanley,
Internet Explorer 7 cannot dispay the webpage for North America link posted below. When copying the link and pasting into FireFox 3.0 RC1, I got this error: Connection Interrupted The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again. -- thecreator "Shenan Stanley" wrote in message ...

Hi All,
Tested in both Browsers today around 10:54 AM EDT and works in both today. I don't need the CD as Windows XP Service Pack 3 is already installed. -- thecreator "Shenan Stanley" wrote in message ... thecreator wrote: Internet Explorer 7 cannot dispay the webpage for North America link posted below.
