Hi Susan,
Follow these instructions to find out what service pack you have:
1. While on your desktop with nothing open, press and hold down windows
key
and then press enter key.
Note: This will open up the system settings section of your computer.
2. Next "route jaws to PC", do this by pressing and holding down the jaws
key and then pressing the jaws cursor key which is the minus key on your
numpad "top right side".
3. Now press number pad "9" to page up to the top of this screen.
4. Finally use number pad "2" key to move down through this system window
till you come to the section that indicates what windows operating system
you have and which service pack if any you have installed. If you only
have
service pack 1 or 2 then you can install SP3.
Why you should install a service pack could be for a number of reasons. A
service pack contains updated drivers and other files that help enhance
the
over-all performance of your windows operating system and keep it in good
order.
Paul.

Hi Kathleen,
Here is a direct link to the Windows XP SP 3 download.
Make sure that you use it soon as the link below will expire in two or
three
days.
When you go to download it, choose run by hitting run with the spacebar
when
the file begins to download and if it asks a second time to run then do
the
same again. Otherwise just follow whatever other prompts by choosing
next.
Windows XP SP3:

Recently, there was an e-mail on the list advising those of us who still
use Windows XP to update from service pack 2 to to service pack 3. Could
anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks in advance.
Kathleen Doyle.
