To re-iterate, co-ordinate to their site, SP3 requires a minimum of SP1, or can also be installed over SP2.SP2 does NOT depend on SP1, so the Microsoft suggestion is to apply SP2 (if non already at SP1), then SP3. I would propose turning off automobile-updates, or setting to notify simply, otherwise information technology will endeavour to utilize a lot of "in between" updates which will be obsoleted past the service pack.Information technology is also possible, if you are seeing high CPU, that yous are suffering the "update jam" cause by a pending Net Explorer Cumulative - if so, then apply the current cumulative.The XP update organisation does not seem as refined every bit for W7 - on XP, it seems you frequently need to visit the windowsupdate site to get things moving.Looks like SP2 is chosen KB835935SP3 is KB936929AH, looks similar this is usefulhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/service-packs-download#sptabs=xpHas links to SP3, SP2 (big) or SP1a express (online install?)Later on SP3 Update, I'd all the same continue updates off, so manually apply IE8 and Window Media histrion xi, then detect the latest IE Cumulative for XP + your IE version (8 if you did information technology, otherwise whatever you accept) - since the autoupdate bugs badly when there is an IE Cumulative pending, equally it checks a HUGE supersedence chain dating back to something ridiculous - the windows update 100% CPU bug that'due south been annoying XP users for a while

The link for SP1a express appears to be ok - [BROKEN LINK REMOVED]The "express install" beingness the ane that downloads what information technology needs equally it goes.Cannot find an "limited" for SP3, other than going through Windowsupdate, but the larger packages are:[Broken LINK REMOVED] - the "full package" - you Can utilise it on just one, but it'due south a bigger download than an "on the fly" updater.The biggest, is the "burn down to CD" update - [Cleaved LINK REMOVED] - this is to brand a SP3 Updater CD, non sure what else that includes over merely sticking the other download on CD

According to Technet (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc507836.aspx), to install SP3, Service Pack one must be installed. However, in that location'due south no need to install SP2 before SP3.

At that place are many updates that will demand to be installed after SP3, so it can accept Windows quite some time to bring upward the message. I ordinarily run Windows Update from the start bill of fare to kick-start the process.

SP3 contains all the updates,issues fixes that its predecessor service packs have.It's economical way for those who cannot afford to download updates.

Thanks. Delight note , I had to inquire considering even on selecting 'automatic update' and even 'notify only download manually' no new notification has been seen on two instances of using estimator. Is there a style to know whether in background which updates have been downloaded , or selected for notification , in xp?
