Hi George It was the exe file, I didn't know that there was another file. If it is 500 mb then I'm going to need help as I don't have and can't get broadband so am unable to download large files like that.

Was it the 300+ MB .exe file, or did you create the CD from the 500 MB .ISO? It would usually need to be the latter to give you the actually distributed SP3 CD.

Now when ever I try and install windows up-dates it brings up the file protection facility saying that important files need to be replaced with the original versions, I put in my windows cd but it is specifically looking for a windows xp service pack 3 cd, it will not accept my windows cd at all. I have tried burning the service pack to a clean cd but this does not make any difference. How can I sort this out? Obviously I do not have a service pack 3 cd otherwise I don't think I'd be having this problem.
