"Microsoft is committed to providing quality products to
customers. As part of this commitment, we would like to remind
you that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) will be released to
Automatic Updates shortly. The third service pack to Windows XP
includes the previously released updates and hotfixes to Windows

When I installed SP3 in May, my DSL would not connect but dial-
up did. After an image restore I was operational again. Last
Monday I installed SP3 again. Everything is working OK. :-)
Have a friend who downloaded the SP3 CD file (assume that it was
an ISO file) about 2+ weeks ago. He has installed SP3 on 4
systems successfully.
