XP SP3 Failed Install
XP Home SP3 download through auto update failed to install today after over
3 hours of not responding. Fortunately the roll back to SP2 worked after another 2 hours. Is SP3 really necessary? I guess the first indication that I should not have tried the install was the message to back up all files on my computer which I did. What's the scope with SP3? Thanks, Bc

XP SP3 Failed Install
Thanks for your help. Did not know any firewalls must be disabled. It
installed in 30 minutes after disabling. Bc "Leonard Grey" wrote in message ...
