Not a problem at all here. Also, FWIW, if you have or plan to get any Games for Windows Live games, the latest client appears to require SP3 on XP systems.
Long system spec sig follows:
PowerSpec G436 Lian Li ATX 205 MSI Z490 Plus Motherboard Intel Core i7 10700K 3.8 GHz 32 GB RAM DDR4 1600 Nvidia RTX3070

You're far better off with the service pack than without. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

Thanks for the help. The upgrade to SP3 went well after I finally ignored MSFT's repeated warnings that I must pay for past sins and d/l all the upgrades I had decided not to d/l over the past few years. I tried to comply with the slap on the wrist but the list was too long and under pain of eternal damnation I just let SP3 download at an early hour after changing my security setting to allow upgrades to be d/led without my permission. I have to assume all of the missing upgrades would be covered in SP3 so why ask me to d/l them before upgrading to the latest Service Pack...Mind games?

Hi HankMC, I've upgraded 3 machines without problems, and you need it to even get into Windows update. The updates do take a long time, each time you update it seems the update needs an update, but you do eventually get to the point where it's all current. It's especially important right now. MS released an update a couple of days back, somebody apparently hacked a Dutch Certificate Authority, Diginotar, and that gives him the ability to generate false but apparently valid certificates for websites, drivers, etc. He also claimed that he's gotten into GlobalSign and was even claiming that he could impersonate Windows Update itself, though that seems to not be possible. MS issued an update 2 days ago or so that invalidated the Dutch CA entirely, knocked most of the Dutch government offline in the process, and they'll invalidate any other CAs he might he might get into as time goes along. It's a bad time to not be current, and you can't even get into Windows Update with XP anymore without SP3. Best regards, - Bob The StickWorks http://www.stickworks.com

Havent had no problems with SP3 since it was released, took a while to update when i did it though.
and lately I'm in Windows 7 90% of my time, so when i do boot to XP, i get prompted for a mess up updates.
I hate it in my office with Windows XP now, cuz i keep trying to drag windows to snap them to the edges.. lmao... I eventually just hooked up a second screen as I have too much stuff for one screen.
