OK, I´ve downloaded SP3... amazing... download speed of 45kbps instead of 4kbps I had before! I´ve read Microsoft´s white paper and "steps to take before you install XP service pack 3". This last one reads like a comedy of errors... literally. Its 7 pages of error messages, enough to make one cringe :o)) Am taking the plunge, hopefully I will surface with no broken bones. Will keep you posted!
